update

• 调用时机有两个，一个是首次渲染，一个数据更新的时候。

Vue.prototype._update = function (vnode: VNode, hydrating?: boolean) {
  const vm: Component = this
  const prevEl = vm.$el
  const prevVnode = vm._vnode
  const restoreActiveInstance = setActiveInstance(vm)
  vm._vnode = vnode
  // Vue.prototype.__patch__ is injected in entry points
  // based on the rendering backend used.
  if (!prevVnode) {
    // initial render
    vm.$el = vm.__patch__(vm.$el, vnode, hydrating, false /* removeOnly */)
  } else {
    // updates
    vm.$el = vm.__patch__(prevVnode, vnode)
  }
  restoreActiveInstance()
  // update __vue__ reference
  if (prevEl) {
    prevEl.__vue__ = null
  }
  if (vm.$el) {
    vm.$el.__vue__ = vm
  }
  // if parent is an HOC, update its $el as well
  if (vm.$vnode && vm.$parent && vm.$vnode === vm.$parent._vnode) {
    vm.$parent.$el = vm.$el
  }
  // updated hook is called by the scheduler to ensure that children are
  // updated in a parent's updated hook.
}

• __patch__ 方法

浏览器环境和服务端渲染存在不同，服务端渲染没有真实的浏览器 DOM 环境，所以不需要把 VNode 转换成 DOM

// install platform patch function
Vue.prototype.__patch__ = inBrowser ? patch : noop

import * as nodeOps from 'web/runtime/node-ops'
import { createPatchFunction } from 'core/vdom/patch'
import baseModules from 'core/vdom/modules/index'
import platformModules from 'web/runtime/modules/index'

// the directive module should be applied last, after all
// built-in modules have been applied.
const modules = platformModules.concat(baseModules)

export const patch: Function = createPatchFunction({ nodeOps, modules })
