Deprecated, would not use anymore.

Replaced by just calling document.body.style.backgroundColor directly where needed.

React Body Backgroundcolor

Provides a declarative way to specify document.body.style.backgroundcolor in a single-page app. This component can be used on server side as well.

Built with React Side Effect.

====================

Installation

npm install --save react-body-backgroundcolor

Dependencies: React >= 0.13.0

Features

• Does not emit DOM, not even a <noscript>;
• Like a normal React compoment, can use its parent's props and state;
• Can be defined in many places throughout the application;
• Works just as well with isomorphic apps.

Example

class SomeComponent {
  render() {
    return (
      <BodyBackgroundColor backgroundColor='#FF00FF'>
        <h1>Home, sweet home.</h1>
      </BodyBackgroundColor>
    );
  }
}

Server Usage

If you use it on server, call BodyBackgroundColor.rewind() after rendering components to string to retrieve the color. You can then embed this color into HTML page template.

Because this component keeps track of mounted instances, you have to make sure to call rewind on server, or you'll get a memory leak.
