The React component lifecycle will allow you to update your components at runtime. This lesson will explore how to do that.
import React from 'react';import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';export default class App extends React.Component { constructor(){ super(); this.state = { increasing: false } } update(){ ReactDOM.render(, document.getElementById('app')); } componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps){ //Invoked when a component is receiving new props. This method is not called for the initial render. this.setState({ increasing: nextProps.val > this.props.val }) } shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps, nextState){ // Control whether the component should re-render return nextProps.val % 5 === 0; // update dom every 5 clicks } render() { console.log(this.state.increasing); return ( ) } componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState){ //After DOM update console.log("prevProps", prevProps); }}App.defaultProps = { val: 0}
