cache option 'prepend' doesn't work when use '@emoton/react' 's Global Component

[tobemaster56]

Current behavior: For more complex reasons, both emotion and react-jss exist in my project. I want the styles provided by react-jss to more easily override the styles provided by the '@emotion/react' Global component. So I expect Global to insert the style front in the head tag.

I see that there is a prepend option in the cache, but the styles generated with Global don't work.

To reproduce: https://codesandbox.io/s/jolly-resonance-6mrxim?file=/src/App.js

Expected behavior:

cache option 'prepend' works for Global Component

Environment information:

• react version: 18.0.0
• @emotion/react version: 11.9.3

i found the key code here

useInsertionEffect(function () {
    var key = cache.key + "-global"; // use case of https://github.com/emotion-js/emotion/issues/2675
    
   // the reason is here，ignore cache.sheet.prepend，Is it intentional?
    var sheet = new cache.sheet.constructor({
      key: key,
      nonce: cache.sheet.nonce,
      container: cache.sheet.container,
      speedy: cache.sheet.isSpeedy,
    });
    
   // ......

    sheetRef.current = [sheet, rehydrating];
    return function () {
      sheet.flush();
    };
  }, [cache]);

in this issue: #2774, i got the follows

cache option prepend is deprecated, use insertionPoint instead，but the problem still exists。

// cache.sheet.insertionPoint was ignored，Is it intentional?
new cache.sheet.constructor({
      key: key,
      nonce: cache.sheet.nonce,
      container: cache.sheet.container,
      speedy: cache.sheet.isSpeedy,
    });

I'm actually not sure - perhaps we should do some digging in the issues, the original PR etc to see if there was any specific reason to not use this option here. I can think of some edge cases around that if the global style gets inserted before a scoped one but that should be a somewhat rare situation.

[tobemaster56]

@Andarist thank you for your reply.

It took me quite some time to find out why the style insertion of the Global component is not controlled by the cache option prepend or insertionPoint . Even if the global style needs to be inserted before the scoped style, it is a rare case. I hope to give the user the choice.

In my opinion, the global style represents only the global, not restricted by a scope, and should not be restricted to be inserted before or after.

Finally, I did some hacking to ensure that the insertion behavior of the global style is controlled by Cache's options

import createCache, { Options as CacheOptions } from '@emotion/cache';
import { StyleSheet, Options } from '@emotion/sheet';

export const createEmotionCache = (options: CacheOptions) => {
  const cache = createCache(options);

  /**
   * A custom styleSheet is used here because emotion's Global component creates a separate styleSheet,
   * making some of the cache's options ineffective, like 'prepend' and 'insertionPoint',
   * details: https://github.com/emotion-js/emotion/issues/2790
   */
  class MyStyleSheet extends StyleSheet {
    constructor(options?: Options) {
      super(options);
      // hack emotion's Global new styleSheet
      // @ts-ignore
      this.prepend = cache.sheet.prepend;
      // @ts-ignore
      this.insertionPoint = cache.sheet.insertionPoint;
    }
  }

  const isBrowser = typeof document !== 'undefined';
  let container: Node;
  if (isBrowser) {
    container = options.container || document.head;
  }
  // @ts-ignore
  cache.sheet = new MyStyleSheet({
    key: options.key,
    // @ts-ignore
    container: container,
    nonce: options.nonce,
    speedy: options.speedy,
    prepend: options.prepend,
    insertionPoint: options.insertionPoint,
  });

  return cache;
};

I have a similar issue with the option {prepend: false} but it happens only on production build. I tried the insertionPoint method but it has the same behavior.

@igorovic perhaps you could figure out how to fix this based on this. IIRC the issue was awfully similar there and I've managed to make it work.

Hi,

I managed to make it work after many trials. Here is an example repo if it could help anyone facing the same issue.
