◆ select_element_for_append()

core_renderer::select_element_for_append ( string $selector = '#region-main [role=main]',
string $element = 'div' )
inherited

Prepares an element for streaming output.

This must be used with NO_OUTPUT_BUFFERING set to true. After using this method any subsequent prints or echos to STDOUT result in the outputted content magically being appended inside that element rather than where the current html would be normally. This enables pages which take some time to render incremental content to first output a fully formed html page, including the footer, and to then stream into an element such as the main content div. This fixes a class of page layout bugs and reduces layout shift issues and was inspired by Facebook BigPipe.

Some use cases such as a simple page which loads content via ajax could be swapped to this method wich saves another http request and its network latency resulting in both lower server load and better front end performance.

You should consider giving the element you stream into a minimum height to further reduce layout shift as the content initally streams into the element.

You can safely finish the output without closing the streamed element. You can also call this method again to swap the target of the streaming to a new element as often as you want.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLRig4s1_yA&t=1022s Watch this video segment to explain how and why this 'One Weird Trick' works.

Parameters
string$selectorwhere new content should be appended
string$elementwhich contains the streamed content
Return values
stringhtml to be written

inherited

Parameters
string$selectorwhere new content should be replaced

Return values
