Brief

Stateless components are not really stateless, they host their states in parent components' state or redux store state, this library gives you convinience to connect to parent components' state.

Brief Comparison

Usually: <ChildComponent id={id1} name={this.state.data[id1].name} description={this.state.data[id1].description} changeName={this.changeName.bind(this)} changeDescription={this.changeDescription.bind(this)} />, and implement 'changeName' and 'changeDescription' as well if the ChildComponent has e.g. <input>s to change those fields.

With statify: <StatifiedChildComponent path={['data', id1]} />, also, no need to have any 'changeName' or 'changeDescription', it provides a setState prop to wrapped component, it sets parent's 'state.data[id1]' as it is an independent state.

Interfaces

Importing

import statify, { statifyWith } from 'react-component-statify'

or

const statify = require('react-component-statify')
const { statifyWith } = require('react-component-statify')

Usage

statify & statifyWith

Two ways to use statify. statify has an unbinded context this pointing to the parent component instance, place it in parent component's prototype or bind it.

class UserContainer extends React.Component {
  ...
}
UserContainer.prototype.statify = statify

constructor (props, context) {
  ...
  const BindedComponent = this.statify(SomeComponent)
}

Or use statifyWith like below:

const BindedComponent = statifyWith(this)(SomeComponent)

binded component

<BindedComponent path='bindedComponent1'>
