componentWillReceiveProps
is soon going to be deprecated in future versions of react.The new recommendation for making side-effects when there is a difference between current + previous props is to do so in
componentDidUpdate
(see: https://reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html#componentdidupdate)When react enables async rendering in future releases of react, this will break lifecycle methods into "render" phase and "commit" phase. Methods in the "render" phase (includes
componentWillReceiveProps
) are meant to be side-effect free as they might be called multiple times.componentDidMount
andcomponentDidUpdate
are called in the "commit" phase and are the recommended place for side-effects (includes network calls). see: https://reactjs.org/docs/strict-mode.html#detecting-unexpected-side-effectstwitter thread with more context: https://twitter.com/ken_wheeler/status/983022255746768897?s=20
The current change is BC since we are only adding a new feature. (see #87 )
