fetch data asynchronously on the server

react made easy

 
 

asyncComponentWillMount

React has a lifecycle method that get's called on the server componentWillMount that can be used to set data for server rendering. But, it does not support asynchronous data fetching before rendering the component.

reaqt introduces a new lifecycle method to pages that runs only on the server.

import React from 'react'

export default class extends React.Component {
  constructor (props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {username: 'siddharthkp'}
  }
  asyncComponentWillMount () {
    /* 
      Return a promise.
      It will get resolved on the server and passed as props to the component.
    */
    return axios.get(`https://api.github.com/users/${this.state.username}`)
  }
  render () {
    return <div>{this.props.bio}</div>
  }
}
