react-async-prop-provider

A React Component for intelligently changing a child components props depending on the state of a promise.

But, why ?

There are many component libraries that out there that provide developers with beautiful stateless components such as buttons. This allows you to easily make these components react to the state of an async function they fire without needing to much boiler plate or using Redux.

Props

• Action:
  • Type: Function
  • Required: Yes
  • Usage: An Async function or a function return a promise. This is will be used to judge the correct props to provide.
• pendingProps:
  • Type: Object
  • Required: No
  • Usage: The additional props that you would like to pass while the action is being resolved.
• fulfilledProps:
  • Type: Object
  • Required: No
  • Usage: The additional props that you would like to pass when the action has been fulfilled.
• rejectedProps:
  • Type: Object
  • Required: No
  • Usage: The additional props that you would like to pass if the action fails.
• Children:
  • Type: Function
  • Required: Yes
  • Params:
    • actionHandler (Function) - fires the provided action when called.
    • asyncProps (Object) - The props for the current action state.
  • Usage: This functions result is used as the return for AsyncPropProvider. This pattern is know as render props learn more here

Example

Usage

import AsyncPropProvider from 'react-async-prop-provider

A Stateless Button component from the Semantic-UI-React component library wrapped in AsyncPropProvider. This allows the buttons to change its presentation depending on the state of async function it fires.

class Example extends Component {
  // Async function
  action() {
    return new Promise(resolve => {
      setTimeout(resolve, 1000);
    });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <AsyncPropProvider
        action={this.action}
        pendingProps={{ disabled: true, loading: true }}
        fulfilledProps={{ color: "green" }}
        rejectedProps={{ color: "red" }}
      >
        {(actionHandler, asyncProps) => (
          <Button color="blue" onClick={actionHandler} {...asyncProps}>
            A Stateless Button
          </Button>
        )}
      </AsyncPropProvider>
    );
  }
}
