PR Summary

Combines two optimizations which dramatically improves spreadsheet performances at scale :

  • Return null instead of undefined for empty values. it enables AG grid to store the result in its value cache
  • Add a cache which stores the result of each formula compilation which can then be reevaluated when rerenders without parsing and compiling in each pass.

Especially visible when spreadsheet contains complex formulas on a large dataset

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Formula evaluation now caches compiled expressions and parse errors. EquipmentTable keeps the cache in grid context. Value getters pass empty dependencies as undefined and return null for null or invalid results.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f3a84

Spreadsheet formulas are cached for faster rerenders, and empty or invalid formula results normalize to null. No current merge-blocking risk is identified.

And why undefined here btw ?

This undefined is crucial to keep existing formulas having this type of syntax "typeOf(IT10_Or) == 'undefined' ? IT10_Ex : typeOf(IT10_Ex) == 'undefined' ? IT10_Or : max(IT10_Or, IT10_Ex)" which are largely used in production.
As of today empty values were treated as undefined. In order to keep the system working while treating empty value as null, we now do the inverse and inject undefined in the scope when the value is empty

But if it's equal to 0 it should stay 0 you're right
Edit: same as above for the nullish coalescing operator

Okay thanks, maybe update the comment to make it more explicit ?

To keep ISO behaviour, I think you need to change this also
