Usages

initial render

import Composant, { render } from 'composant'

const App = (props) => (
  <div>
    Hello {props.name}!!
  </div>
)

render(<App name="world" />, document.querySelector('#app'))

lifecycle events

Lifecycle events are props that can be implemented only on component.

import Composant from 'composant'

const Header = (props) => (
  <header>
    <h3>{props.title}</h3>
  </header>
)

const App = (props) => (
  <div>
    <Header
      onMount={initialProps => console.log('initialProps:', initialProps)}
      onUpdate={(lastProps, nextProps) => console.log(lastProps, nextProps)}
      onUnmount={finalProps => console.log('finalProps:', initialProps)}
    />
    Hello {props.name}!!
  </div>
)

...

To avoid declaring lifecycle events in the parent rendering an HOC can wrap your component.

import Composant from 'composant'

const withLifecycles = lifecycles => ComponentToWrap => props => (
  <ComponenToWrap
    {...lifecycles}
    {...props}
  />
)

const Header = (props) => (
  <header>
    <h3>{props.title}</h3>
  </header>
)

const HeaderWithLifecycles = withLifecycles({
  onMount: initialProps => console.log('initialProps:', initialProps),
  onUpdate: (lastProps, nextProps) => console.log(lastProps, nextProps),
  onUnmount: finalProps => console.log('finalProps:', initialProps)
})(Header)

const App = (props) => (
  <div>
    <HeaderWithLifecycles />
    Hello {props.name}!!
  </div>
)

JSX

JSX is an XML-like syntax extension to ECMAScript without any defined semantics. To implement JSX to your project the babel plugin transform-react-jsx have to be configured with the pragma property set to Composant

Example:

"plugins": [
  [
    "transform-react-jsx",
    {
      "pragma": "Composant"
    }
  ]
]
