Performance: Cache regular expression instead of creating anew for every file in ScriptTransformer. #8235

Merged

Summary

This PR improves performance by caching the regular expression string -> RegExp conversion.

Benchmarks on cached regular expression vs. creating new each time:

  new regex x   596 ops/sec ±0.95% (97 runs sampled)
  cached regex  x 1,668 ops/sec ±0.61% (97 runs sampled)

For large projects, Jest may process a LOT of files. The more workers in use, the higher chance that the same file is processed multiple times. Additionally, each time it's hit multiple regular expressions may be tested against.

The benchmark I used:

suite.add('new regex', function() {
  for (var i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
    new RegExp('^.+\\.[jt]sx?$').test(
      'jest/packages/jest-haste-map/src/__tests__/haste_impl.js'
    );
  }
});

suite.add('cached regex', function() {
  const regex = new RegExp('^.+\\.[jt]sx?$');
  for (var i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
    regex.test(
      'jest/packages/jest-haste-map/src/__tests__/haste_impl.js'
    );
  }
});

Test plan

  • All tests pass.
  • Performance benefit verified.

Looks good!

When can this be falsy?

Ah, transform: {}? Gotcha

calcTransformRegExp returns undefined if config.transform.length === 0.

I try not to return empty arrays to loop through when the function should actually be telling you "nothing to do here". I personally find it makes the code more readable and sometimes make optimizations in the future possible.
