FAQ

#### How does it work?

It takes a configuration prop that define how the native widget should behave and any other property you want to pass to the UI component. It spread all the properties a part from the configuration to the enhanced UI component. The UI component will also receive other props that will help improving the experience allowing complete control on the renderer and on the action handler.

#### Does it support Redux or any other flux implementation?

Yes, the configuration is injected from the parent component. In this way it does not matter which flux implementation you are using. At the same time, we are preserving the high order component pattern so you have complete control on the renderer and on the action handler.

#### Does it support Typescript?

Yes, you don't need to install any typescript dependecies because types come with the library. It export WebShareConfigContainer (injected configuration) and WebShareInterface (UI component extended props) typescript interfaces. All the examples are written in typescript.
