It is a major shortcoming that the selector always selects from the default registry, and not the one that's in React context and is returned by useRegistry. I wonder if we can do anything about it?

// registration
registerPrivateSelectors( blockEditorStore, {
getContentLockingParent
} );
// plain usage
const { privateOf } = unlock( dataExperiments );
privateOf( registry.select( blockEditorStore ) ).getContentLockingParent();
// usage in React
useSelect( ( select ) => ( {
parent: privateOf( select( blockEditorStore ) ).getContentLockingParent();
} ) );I can register private selectors and actions on a store, and then the object returned by select has the good old public methods, but can also be "unlocked" with privateOf to access the private parts.
The same can be done with actions and dispatch.
Ideally, I would not need a custom privateOf function, but could use the general purpose unlock to unlock any object. Could be implemented by having a Symbol.for( 'accessKey' ) property on an object. Very similar to how, to a for of loop, you can pass either an object with a Symbol.iterator field or an actual iterator.

@jsnajdr I really like this idea and I'm exploring an implementation. Would you mind taking a look? I think the new lockObj/unlockObj API could very well replace the old register/unlock API – I just need some better names.

I'm adding this to my todo-list after finishing the React 18 migration. Which currrently utilizes me 100% 🙂

I just updated this PR as @jsnajdr suggested: // registration
registerPrivateSelectors( blockEditorStore, {
getContentLockingParent
} );
// plain usage
unlock( registry.select( blockEditorStore ) ).getContentLockingParent();
// usage in React
useSelect( ( select ) => ( {
parent: unlock( select( blockEditorStore ) ).getContentLockingParent();
} ) );You can register private selectors and actions on a store, and the object returned by This now works with all the registries, not just the default one. It's easy to migrate the current code to the new one – we just need to add |

I'm merging this PR into #46131 – the two are closely related, updating them separately takes effort, and keeping the code separate makes the dependency less clear. |

Introduces a private selectors APIs in `@wordpress/data` via [the new `@wordpress/experimental`](#43386 (comment)) package: ```js // Package wordpress/block-data: import { unlock } from '../experiments'; import { experiments as dataExperiments } from '@wordpress/data'; const { registerPrivateActionsAndSelectors } = unlock( dataExperiments ); import { store as blockEditorStore } from './store'; import { __unstableSelectionHasUnmergeableBlock } from './store/selectors'; registerPrivateActionsAndSelectors( store, {}, { __experimentalHasContentRoleAttribute } ); // plain usage unlock( registry.select( blockEditorStore ) ).getContentLockingParent(); // usage in React useSelect( ( select ) => ( { parent: privateOf( select( blockEditorStore ) ).__unstableSelectionHasUnmergeableBlock(); } ) ); ```

These selectors don't match, which adds confusion.

ah snap good spot, I'll fix this in #46131

## Description
This commit introduces a more convenient API for managing the private experiments as the former `register`-based API was quite cumbersome to use.
The idea is to "lock" private data inside public objects:
```js
const { lock, unlock } = __dangerousOptInToUnstableAPIsOnlyForCoreModules(
'<CONSENT STRING>',
'@wordpress/blocks'
);
export const publicObject = {};
lock( __experiments, "Shh, private data!" );
publicObject
// {}
unlock( publicObject )
// "Shh, private data!"
```
This new `lock()`/`unlock()` API enables private functions, classes, components, selectors, actions, arguments, and properties. Any package that opted-in to private APIs can call `unlock()` on publicly available artifacts to retrieve the related private API.
Kudos to @jsnajdr for [identifying an opportunity to simplify the API](#44521 (comment))!
## Examples
### Private selectors:
```js
// In wordpress/block-data:
import { store as blockEditorStore } from './store';
import { unlock } from '../experiments';
import { __unstableSelectionHasUnmergeableBlock } from './store/selectors';
unlock( store ).registerPrivateSelectors( {
__unstableSelectionHasUnmergeableBlock
} );
// In a React component:
function MyComponent() {
const hasRole = useSelect( ( select ) => (
unlock( select( blockEditorStore ) ).__unstableSelectionHasUnmergeableBlock()
) );
// ...
}
```
### Private functions, classes, and variables
```js
// In packages/package1/index.js:
import { lock } from './experiments';
export const experiments = {};
/* Attach private data to the exported object */
lock(experiments, {
__experimentalCallback: function() {},
__experimentalReactComponent: function ExperimentalComponent() { return <div/>; },
__experimentalClass: class Experiment{},
__experimentalVariable: 5,
});
// In packages/package2/index.js:
import { experiments } from '@wordpress/package1';
import { unlock } from './experiments';
const {
__experimentalCallback,
__experimentalReactComponent,
__experimentalClass,
__experimentalVariable
} = unlock( experiments );
```
### Private function arguments
To add an experimental argument to a stable function you'll need
to prepare a stable and an experimental version of that function.
Then, export the stable function and `lock()` the unstable function
inside it:
```js
// In @wordpress/package1/index.js:
import { lock } from './experiments';
// The experimental function contains all the logic
function __experimentalValidateBlocks(formula, __experimentalIsStrict) {
let isValid = false;
// ...complex logic we don't want to duplicate...
if ( __experimentalIsStrict ) {
// ...
}
// ...complex logic we don't want to duplicate...
return isValid;
}
// The stable public function is a thin wrapper that calls the
// experimental function with the experimental features disabled
export function validateBlocks(blocks) {
__experimentalValidateBlocks(blocks, false);
}
lock( validateBlocks, __experimentalValidateBlocks );
// In @wordpress/package2/index.js:
import { validateBlocks } from '@wordpress/package1';
import { unlock } from './experiments';
// The experimental function may be "unlocked" given the stable function:
const __experimentalValidateBlocks = unlock(validateBlocks);
__experimentalValidateBlocks(blocks, true);
```
### Private React Component properties
To add an experimental argument to a stable component you'll need
to prepare a stable and an experimental version of that component.
Then, export the stable function and `lock()` the unstable function
inside it:
```js
// In @wordpress/package1/index.js:
import { lock } from './experiments';
// The experimental component contains all the logic
const ExperimentalMyButton = ( { title, __experimentalShowIcon = true } ) => {
// ...complex logic we don't want to duplicate...
return (
<button>
{ __experimentalShowIcon && <Icon src={some icon} /> } { title }
</button>
);
}
// The stable public component is a thin wrapper that calls the
// experimental component with the experimental features disabled
export const MyButton = ( { title } ) =>
<ExperimentalMyExistingButton title={ title } __experimentalShowIcon={ false } />
lock(MyButton, ExperimentalMyButton);
// In @wordpress/package2/index.js:
import { MyButton } from '@wordpress/package1';
import { unlock } from './experiments';
// The experimental component may be "unlocked" given the stable component:
const ExperimentalMyButton = unlock(MyButton);
export function MyComponent() {
return (
<ExperimentalMyButton data={data} __experimentalShowIcon={ true } />
)
}
```

What?
This PR introduces a private selectors APIs in
@wordpress/datavia the new@wordpress/experimentalpackage:This PR demonstrates the usage by making the
__unstableSelectionHasUnmergeableBlockselector private. I intend to roll back this change before merging, and then follow-up with a migration PR to ensure new experimental selectors won't be added to the public API.Why?
Exporting
__unstableand__experimentalselectors makes them available to extenders and locks them in as a part of the public API. Let's not add new such exports if it can be avoided.Testing
Confirm the new API makes sense and that all the tests pass.
