Interactivity API: Add timeout option to navigate() #54474

What?

This PR adds an option to the navigate() function exposed by the Interactivity API.

When the timeout expires, the browser reloads the page you are visiting instead of waiting.

Part of #54291

Why?

To add a default behavior when a navigation takes too long.

How?

Inside navigation(), where the function awaits the request to be resolved, I added another promise that fulfills when the timeout passes. Then, I used Promise.race() to return the resolved value of the fastest promise.

Testing Instructions

You can use the Enhanced pagination feature of the Query Loop block to test this.

  1. Inside the Site Editor, go to the Blog Home template.
  2. Enable "Enhanced pagination" in the Query Loop settings.
  3. Visit the homepage.
  4. In the browser dev tools, go to the Network tab, and create a very slow throttling profile (slower than "Slow 3G").
  5. Select that throttling profile
  6. On the site, click "Older posts"
  7. Wait 10 seconds
  8. Deactivate network throttling
  9. The browser should reload the requested page.

I have a couple of comments:

  • We are focusing the first element even if the timeout is reached.
  • The loading bar disappears after the timeout, even if it hasn't navigated yet to the new page.

These aspects combined give me the impression that it has navigated even if we are still in the same page. Could we not focus the first element and keep the loading bar until it actually loads the next page?

I made a quick video explaining what I mean:

Thanks, @SantosGuillamot; that's good feedback. 👌

The navigate function doesn't currently return any information about whether the navigation has timed out. In practice, that shouldn't be a problem, because the page reloads directly by changing window.location. However, in this case, as we're adding a network throttling, that location change takes much longer than expected and you can notice the navigate function has finished, and the scroll and focus have also changed.

We could maybe return a boolean from the navigate function and take that value into account before updating focus or finishing the loading bar animation. 🤔

Maybe navigate should never resolve if there was a timeout.

I made navigate() to throw an error if the current timeout finishes. That should fix the issue, @SantosGuillamot.

Why is throwing an error better than not resolving the function?

I don't think it's better―for me, it was just a matter of convenience. 😅

Actually, the navigate() function is not resolving, but rejecting, and throwing an error effectively stops the execution of the current async function if you're not capturing it so the code waiting for navigate() doesn't run.

In addition, it simplifies the code as we don't have to write something to handle when the timeout finishes and then await a never-resolving Promise.

If you prefer, here you have a code that makes navigate() neither resolve nor reject. 😄

Let's go with the unresolved then to avoid throwing errors on people's websites 🙂
