React Redux Lifecycle


Often, actions need to be dispatched as part of the React lifecycle. In many cases, the only reason to extend React.Component instead of using functional components is to do this.

Well, no more! Now you can just wrap your component in this higher-order component and remain in your functional bliss.

Installation

$3

``sh
npm install --save react-redux-lifecycle
`

This assumes that you’re using npm package manager with a module bundler like Webpack or Browserify to consume CommonJS modules.

Usage

$3

`javascript
import { withLifecycleActions } from 'react-redux-lifecycle'

const myAction = { type: 'MY_ACTION' }

const MyComponent = ({ message }) =>

export default withLifecycleActions({ componentDidMount: myAction })(MyComponent)

...

import MyComponent from './MyComponent'


`

$3

`javascript
import { withLifecycleActions } from 'react-redux-lifecycle'

const myActionCreator = () => ({ type: 'MY_ACTION' })

const MyComponent = ({ message }) =>

export default withLifecycleActions({ componentDidMount: myActionCreator })(MyComponent)

...

import MyComponent from './MyComponent'


`

#### With props

The component props are passed to any functions that are provided

`javascript
import { withLifecycleActions } from 'react-redux-lifecycle'

const myActionCreator = ({ id }) => ({ type: 'MY_ACTION', id })

const MyComponent = ({ message }) =>

export default withLifecycleActions({ componentDidMount: myActionCreator })(MyComponent)

...

import MyComponent from './MyComponent'


`

$3

`javascript
import { withLifecycleActions } from 'react-redux-lifecycle'

const myAction = () => { type: 'MY_ACTION' }
const myActionCreator = () => myAction

const MyComponent = ({ message }) =>

export default withLifecycleActions({ componentDidMount: [myAction, myActionCreator] })(MyComponent)

...

import MyComponent from './MyComponent'


`

$3

Helper functions are available if you only need to dispatch the action on a single lifecycle method.

`javascript
import { onComponentDidMount } from 'react-redux-lifecycle'

const myAction = { type: 'MY_ACTION' }

const MyComponent = ({ message }) =>

export default onComponentDidMount(myAction)(MyComponent)

...

import MyComponent from './MyComponent'


`

Basic action, action creators and multiple actions are all supported in the same manner as withLifecycleActions.

The following lifecycle methods are supported:

- componentWillMount (helper: onComponentWillMount)
- componentDidMount (helper: onComponentDidMount)
- componentWillReceiveProps (helper: onComponentWillReceiveProps)
- componentWillUpdate (helper: onComponentWillUpdate)
- componentDidUpdate (helper: onComponentDidUpdate)
- componentWillUnmount (helper: onComponentWillUnmount)
- componentDidCatch (helper: onComponentDidCatch`)
