Component sandbox features

This section provides guidance on migrating additional CMX [sandbox][cmx-services] features.

Note: If there's a feature in your CMX file that's not in this list, please reach out to component-framework-dev.

Storage features {#storage-features}

If your component uses any of the following features, follow the instructions in this section to migrate storage access:

Feature	Description	Storage Capability	Path
`isolated-persistent-storage`	Isolated	`data`	`/data`
: : persistent : : :
: : storage : : :
: : directory : : :
`isolated-cache-storage`	Managed	`cache`	`/cache`
: : persistent : : :
: : storage : : :
: : directory : : :
`isolated-temp`	Managed	`tmp`	`/tmp`
: : in-memory : : :
: : storage : : :
: : directory : : :

These features are supported in v2 components using [storage capabilities][storage-capabilities].

Declare the required storage capabilities

When [migrating your component manifest][migrate-components], add the following to your CML file:

// my_component.cml
{
    use: [
        ...
        {
            storage: "{{ '<var label="storage">data</var>' }}",
            path: "{{ '<var label="storage path">/data</var>' }}",
        },
    ],
}

Route storage from the parent realm

When [adding your component][migrate-components-add], you'll need to offer the appropriate storage path to your component from its parent realm.

// core.cml / component.core_shard.cml
{
    children: [
        ...
        {
            name: "my_component",
            url: "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/my-package#meta/my_component.cm",
        },
    ],
    offer: [
        ...
        {{ '<strong>' }}{
            storage: "{{ '<var label="storage">data</var>' }}",
            from: "self",
            to: [ "#my_component" ],
        },{{ '</strong>' }}
    ]
}

Note: If the appropriate storage capability is not currently provided by your component's parent realm, reach out to component-framework-dev for assistance.

Update component storage index

Components that use storage use a [component ID index][component-id-index] to preserve access to persistent storage contents across the migration, such as [core_component_id_index.json5][example-component-id-index]. You must update the component index to map the new component moniker to the same instance within the component that provides the storage capability.

Find any instances of your current v1 component in component index files:

// core_component_id_index.json5
{
    instances: [
        ...
        {
            instance_id: "...",
            appmgr_moniker: {
                url: "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/my-package#meta/my_component.cmx",
                realm_path: [ ... ]
            },
        },
    ],
}

Replace the appmgr_moniker for your component instance with the new moniker in the migrated v2 realm, keeping the same instance_id:

// core_component_id_index.json5
{
    instances: [
        ...
        {
            instance_id: "...",
            moniker: "/core/my_component",
        },
    ],
}

Note: If you are migrating your component to a realm other than core, the moniker should reflect that.

(Optional) Enable `persistent_storage` for collection descendants using storage

If the component or any of its ancestors, such as the session component, is part of a collection, and the component requires storage contents to exist after a component instance has been destroyed, add the [persistent_storage][collection-persistent-storage] setting to the collection decl:

{
  collections: [
    {
      name: "my_collection",
      durability: "{{ '<var label="durability">durability</var>' }}",
      persistent_storage: true,
    }
  ],
}

This setting allows collection descendants using the component ID index to preserve storage content across [dynamic component instances][dynamic-children].

Note: the persistent_storage setting will apply to all descendants of the collection.

Storage capabilities in tests

When [migrating tests][migrate-tests], you will need to route storage access to your test component if any of the components in the test realm access a storage path.

Following the example in [Test uses injected services][migrate-tests-inject], add the following to route storage access to your test component:

// my_component_test.cml (test component)
}
    use: [
        ...
        {{ '<strong>' }}{
            storage: "{{ '<var label="storage">data</var>' }}",
            path: "{{ '<var label="storage path">/data</var>' }}",
        },{{ '</strong>' }}
    ],
}

Note: Storage capabilities are backed by in-memory storage in tests and contents will not persist once the test exits.

Directory features {#directory-features}

If your component uses any of the following features, follow the instructions in this section to migrate directory access:

Feature	Description	Directory Capability	Path
`shell-commands`	Executable directory of shell binaries	`bin`	`/bin`
`root-ssl-certificates`	Read-only root certificate data	`root-ssl-certificates`	`/config/ssl`

These features are supported in v2 components using [directory capabilities][directory-capabilities].

Declare the required directory capabilities

When [migrating your component manifest][migrate-components], add the following to your CML file:

// my_component.cml
{
    use: [
        ...
        {
            directory: "{{ '<var label="directory">root-ssl-certificates</var>' }}",
            rights: [ "r*" ],
            path: "{{ '<var label="directory path">/config/ssl</var>' }}",
        },
    ],
}

Note: Unlike storage locations, which are isolated per-component, directories are a shared resource. You may need to also determine the subdirectory your component needs to access in order to complete this migration.

Route directory from the parent realm

When [adding your component][migrate-components-add], you'll need to offer the directory capabilities to your component.

// core.cml / component.core_shard.cml
{
    children: [
        ...
        {
            name: "my_component",
            url: "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/my-package#meta/my_component.cm",
        },
    ],
    offer: [
        ...
        {{ '<strong>' }}{
            directory: "{{ '<var label="directory">root-ssl-certificates</var>' }}",
            from: "parent",
            to: [ "#my_component" ],
        },{{ '</strong>' }}
    ],
}

Note: If the appropriate directory capability is not currently provided by your component's parent realm, reach out to component-framework-dev for assistance.

Directory paths in tests

When [migrating tests][migrate-tests], you need to route the directory capabilities to your test component if any of the components in the test realm require directory access.

Test Runner Framework only allows the following directory capabilities to be used by non-hermetic tests:

Capability	Description	Path
`root-ssl-certificates`	Read-only root certificate data	`/config/ssl`

Following the example in [Test uses injected services][migrate-tests-inject], add the following to route directory access to your test component:

// my_component_test.cml (test component)
{
    use: [
        ...
        {{ '<strong>' }}{
            directory: "{{ '<var label="directory">root-ssl-certificates</var>' }}",
            rights: [ "r*" ],
            path: "{{ '<var label="directory path">/config/ssl</var>' }}",
        },{{ '</strong>' }}
    ],
}

Note: If the appropriate directory capability is not currently provided by the Test Runner Framework, reach out to component-framework-dev for assistance.

Configuration data {#config-data}

If your component uses any of the following features, follow the instructions in this section to migrate directory access:

Feature	Description	Directory Capability	Path
`config-data`	Read-only	`config-data`	`/config/data`
: : configuration data : : :

These features are supported in v2 components using [directory capabilities][directory-capabilities].

For more details using data files, see [product-specific configuration with config_data()][config-data].

Consider [packaging your data files hermetically with resource()][resource-data] if your component doesn't need to accept data files from arbitrary parts of the source tree. Using resource() is simpler and more efficient.

Declare the required directory capabilities

When [migrating your component manifest][migrate-components], add the following to your CML file:

// my_component.cml
{
    use: [
        ...
        {
            directory: "config-data",
            rights: [ "r*" ],
            path: "/config/data",
        },
    ],
}

Route directory from the parent realm

When [adding your component][migrate-components-add], you'll need to offer the directory capability with the appropriate subdirectory to your component.

// core.cml / component.core_shard.cml
{
    children: [
        ...
        {
            name: "my_component",
            url: "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/my-package#meta/my_component.cm",
        },
    ],
    offer: [
        ...
        {{ '<strong>' }}{
            directory: "config-data",
            from: "parent",
            to: [ "#my_component" ],
            subdir: "{{ '<var label="package name">my-package</var>' }}",
        },{{ '</strong>' }}
    ],
}

Configuration data in tests

When [migrating tests][migrate-tests], you need to route the directory capability with the appropriate subdirectory to your test component if any of the components in the test realm require directory access. The name of the subdirectory should match the name of the package that contains the component.

Following the example in [Test uses injected services][migrate-tests-inject], add the following to route directory access to your test component:

// my_component_test.cml (test component)
{
    use: [
        ...
        {{ '<strong>' }}{
            directory: "config-data",
            rights: [ "r*" ],
            path: "/config/data",
            subdir: "{{ '<var label="package name">my-package</var>' }}",
        },{{ '</strong>' }}
    ],
}

Device directories {#devices}

If your component uses any of the following features, follow the instructions in this section to migrate device access:

Feature	Description	Path
`dev`	Entries in `devfs`	`/dev/*`
`dev`	Legacy device entries	`/dev/null`, `/dev/zero`

[Device filesystem][device-model] access is supported in Components v2 using [directory capabilities][directory-capabilities].

Consider the following example using Components v1 to access /dev/class/input-report:

// my_component.cmx
{
    "program": { ... },
    "sandbox": {
        "dev": [
            "{{ '<var label="device subpath">class/input-report</var>' }}"
        ]
    }
}

Declare the required device capabilities

When [migrating your component manifest][migrate-components], add the device path as a directory capability to your CML file:

// my_component.cml
{
    use: [
        ...
        {
            directory: "{{ '<var label="device">dev-input-report</var>' }}",
            rights: [ "r*" ],
            path: "/dev/{{ '<var label="device subpath">class/input-report</var>' }}",
        },
    ],
}

Route device subdirectory from the parent realm

When [adding your component][migrate-components-add], you'll need to offer the appropriate device path to your component from its parent realm.

// core.cml / component.core_shard.cml
{
    children: [
        ...
        {
            name: "my_component",
            url: "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/my-package#meta/my_component.cm",
        },
    ],
    offer: [
        ...
        {{ '<strong>' }}{
            directory: "dev",
            from: "parent",
            as: "{{ '<var label="device">dev-input-report</var>' }}",
            to: [ "#my_component" ],
            subdir: "{{ '<var label="device subpath">class/input-report</var>' }}",
        },{{ '</strong>' }}
    ],
}

Legacy device entries {#legacy-device-entries}

Components v2 does not route the following pseudo-device entries to components:

/dev/zero: Create an equivalent (pseudo-)file in your code if necessary. For example, see the Chromium ScopedDevZero implementation.
/dev/null: Use [fdio_fd_null_create] to get a file descriptor to a file that acts like /dev/null.

Device directories in tests

When [migrating tests][migrate-tests], you need to route the directory capabilities to your test component if any of the components in the test realm require directory access.

Test Runner Framework only allows the following device directories to be used by non-hermetic tests:

Capability	Description
`dev-input`	Input
`dev-input-report`	Input method events
`dev-display-controller`	Graphical display controller
`dev-goldfish-address-space`	Goldfish address space device
`dev-goldfish-control`	Goldfish control device
`dev-goldfish-pipe`	Goldfish pipe device
`dev-gpu`	GPU device
`dev-gpu-performance-counters`	GPU performance counters device

Following the example in [Test uses injected services][migrate-tests-inject], add the following to route directory access to your test component:

// my_component_test.cml (test component)
{
    use: [
        ...
        {{ '<strong>' }}{
            directory: "{{ '<var label="device">dev-input-report</var>' }}",
            rights: [ "r*" ],
            path: "/dev/{{ '<var label="device subpath">class/input-report</var>' }}",
        },{{ '</strong>' }}
    ],
}

Note: If the appropriate device directory is not currently provided by the Test Runner Framework, reach out to component-framework-dev for assistance.

Event capabilities {#events}

If your component uses any of the following features, follow the instructions in this section:

Feature	Description	Path
`hub`	Observing component path changes	`/hub/c/*`
`hub`	Observing realm path changes	`/hub/r/*`

These features are supported in v2 components using [event capabilities][event-capabilities].

Event sources in tests

When [migrating tests][migrate-tests], you'll need to inject any components you wish to observe into the test realm and route the appropriate lifecycle events for those components to your test component.

Following the example in [Test uses injected services][migrate-tests-inject], route the fuchsia.sys2.EventSource capability and the appropriate events to your test component:

// my_component_test.cml (test component)
{
    children: [
        {
            name: "my_component",
            url: "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/my-package#meta/my_component.cm",
        },
    ],
    use: [
        {
            protocol: [ "fuchsia.sys2.EventSource" ],
        },
        {
            event: [ "{{ '<var label="event name">started</var>' }}" ],
            from: "framework",
            modes: [ "async" ],
        },
    ],
}

Note: The EventSource capability comes from the test realm (parent), but the events come from the Component Manager (framework). This sets the event scope to only components in the test realm. For more details on event scope, see [event-capabilities][event-capabilities].

Build Info {#build-info}

When migrating the build-info feature, instead use the fuchsia.buildinfo.Provider protocol. This protocol is the only supported method of retrieving build information moving forward. To use this protocol, add it [while declaring required services][migrate-components-services].

Vulkan {#vulkan}

When migrating the vulkan feature or code that uses a //src/lib/vulkan/*.shard.cmx shard, instead use the vulkan/client.shard.cml [shard][manifests-shard] as described in the [Vulkan documentation][vulkan].
