Package will allow components to maintain their status, to avoid repeated re-rendering.
npm install react-keep-alive-pro     
A component that maintains component state and avoids repeated re-rendering.
Original library is https://github.com/StructureBuilder/react-keep-alive, As the original author did not adopt my PR, so I forked this, I would like to thank the original author for this library.
- Not based on React Router, so you can use it wherever you need to cache it.
- You can easily use
- Because it is not controlled by display: none | block, you can use animation.
- You will be able to use the latest React Hooks.
- Ability to manually control whether your components need to stay active.
- add removeCache method(v2.5.5).
React Keep Alive requires React 16.3 or later, but if you use React Hooks, you must be React 16.8 or higher.
To use React Keep Alive with your React app:
``bash`
npm install --save react-keep-alive
React Keep Alive provides , you must use to wrap the cache to take effect.
`JavaScript
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {
Provider,
KeepAlive,
} from 'react-keep-alive';
import Test from './views/Test';
ReactDOM.render(
document.getElementById('root'),
);
`
If you've used Vue, you know that it has a very good component (keep-alive) that keeps the state of the component to avoid repeated re-rendering.
Sometimes, we want the list page to cache the page state after the list page enters the detail page. When the detail page returns to the list page, the list page is still the same as before the switch.
Oh, this is actually quite difficult to achieve, because the components in React cannot be reused once they are uninstalled. Two solutions are proposed in issue #12039. By using the style switch component display (display: none | block;), this can cause problems, such as when you switch components, you can't use animations; or use data flow management tools like Mobx and Redux, but this is too much trouble.
In the end, I implemented this effect through the React.createPortal API. react-keep-alive has two main components and . The is responsible for saving the component's cache and rendering the cached component outside of the application via the React.createPortal API before processing. The cached components must be placed in , and will mount the components that are cached outside the application to the location that really needs to be displayed.
Since the cached components need to be stored, the must be rendered at the top of the application for the program to run properly.
#### Props
include: Only components that match key will be cached. It can be a string, an array of strings, or a regular expression, eg:
`JavaScript`
// or
// or
exclude: Any component that matches key will not be cached. It can be a string, an array of strings, or a regular expression.
max(v2.5.2+): If the maximum value is set, the value in the cache is deleted after it goes out.
#### Example
In the example below, the
`javascript
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { Provider } from "react-keep-alive";
import App from "./App";
ReactDOM.render(
document.getElementById("root")
);
`
##### Usage with React Router and Mobx React
`JavaScript
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
} from 'react-router-dom';
import {
Provider as MobxProvider,
} from 'mobx-react';
import {
Provider as KeepAliveProvider,
} from 'react-keep-alive';
ReactDOM.render(
document.getElementById('root'),
);
`
#### remove cache
For solve this issue, I add remove method.
`js`
this.keepAliveProviderRef = ref;
}}
max={30}
>
First you need get keepAliveProviderRef, and in correct time call it's method named removeCache like this:
`js`
keepAliveProviderRef.removeCache("KeepAlive");
// or
keepAliveProviderRef.removeCache(["KeepAlive"]);
removeCache receive string or string array as params which is name of KeepAlive.
If you use react-router, and need use history.push when removeCache, you must use history.push first and then use removeCache.
Note: You must put
`bash`
npm install react-router@next react-router-dom@next
Children of will be cached, but we have to make sure that is inside .
#### Props
name: Name must exist and need to ensure that all names under the current are unique(1.2.0 added, Replace key).
disabled: When we don't need components for caching, we can disable it; the disabled configuration will only takes effect when the component's status changes from unactive to active.
extra(v2.0.1+): Additional data can be obtained through bindLifecycle.
Note: The innermost outer layer of the packaged component must have a real DOM tag.
#### Example
`JavaScript
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Switch,
Route,
Link,
} from 'react-router-dom';
import {
Provider,
KeepAlive,
} from 'react-keep-alive';
class One extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
// a real DOM tag
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
ReactDOM.render(
document.getElementById('root'),
);
`
##### Usage with include props of
`JavaScript
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Switch,
Route,
Link,
} from 'react-router-dom';
import {
Provider,
KeepAlive,
} from 'react-keep-alive';
class One extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
ReactDOM.render(
document.getElementById('root'),
);
`
Note: If you want to use the lifecycle, wrap the components in a bindLifecycle high-level component.
Components that pass this high-level component wrap will have the correct lifecycle, and we have added two additional lifecycles, componentDidActivate and componentWillUnactivate.
Lifecycle after adding:
!Lifecycle after adding
componentDidActivate will be executed once after the initial mount or from the unactivated state to the active state. although we see componentDidActivate after componentDidUpdate in the Updating phase, this does not mean componentDidActivate Always triggered.
At the same time, only one of the lifecycles of componentWillUnactivate and componentWillUnmount is triggered. componentWillUnactivate is executed when caching is required; componentWillUnmount is executed without caching.
#### Example
`JavaScript
import React from 'react';
import {bindLifecycle} from 'react-keep-alive';
@bindLifecycle
class Test extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
$3
useKeepAliveEffect will fire when the component enters and leaves; because the component will not be unmounted while it is still active, so if you use useEffect, that will not achieve the real purpose.Note:
useKeepAliveEffect uses the latest React Hooks, so you must make sure React is the latest version.#### Example
`JavaScript
import React from 'react';
import {useKeepAliveEffect} from 'react-keep-alive';function Test() {
useKeepAliveEffect(() => {
console.log("mounted");
return () => {
console.log("unmounted");
};
});
return (
This is Test.
);
}
