About React ReArch

[busslina]

The three main lifecycle events of a React Component are componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate and componentWillUnmount.

I suppose that I can discard componentDidMount. But what about componentDidUpdate? Should I advice ReArch about this event. React state gets substituted by ReArch state, but what about React properties?

Okay, I think it can be ignored too because it has attached the render method which is executed just before componentDidUpdate. So the question would be then: Is it safe to use properties from the render/build method?

I’m not too familiar with React so you’ll have to play around with that a bit haha

In the ReArch context what does mean that a Capsule is idempotent?

I'm just trying to replicate a similar mechanism to "Flutter Widget dirty".

[GregoryConrad]

Yes, that sounds about right

[busslina]

Or maybe just calling forceUpdate is enough, as it maybe rebuilds once on multiple API rebuild() calls.

Yes, it's enough, no dirty logic or async call is needed:

Now I have to care about using props (similar to Widget properties/didUpdateWidget) and it's done if nothing escapes me :)

After I test it in a real project I will send you a ZIP via Discord DM so you can modify it to your fits and integrate in your lib if you want it. I don't care about putting my name on it haha

[GregoryConrad]

You could make a PR if you wanted and then you can get the open source credit 😝

Okay, just that I don't document it well (neither commit messages or your coding commentary standards haha, which I like: I discovered many useful lints by digging on your code) so I will encourage you to change anything (code + comments) to fit those standards..
