auto-dispatch v1.0.3

This library exports a React component that automatically dispatches a Redux action when rendered. You can use it to trigger data fetch instead of doing it imperatively in componentDidMount.

Example

import { connect } from 'react-redux'
import AutoDispatch from 'auto-dispatch'

// Action creator
const fetchCardDetails = cardId => ({ 
  type: 'FETCH_CARD_DETAILS', 
  cardId 
})

// React component that automatically fetches required data
const Card = props => (
  <div>
    <AutoDispatch action={fetchCardDetails(props.cardId)} />
    {
      /* Card display logic */
    }
  </div>
)

How it works

The action given as an argument is dispatched on initial render and every time it changes (deep comparison is performed). In the example above action FETCH_CARD_DETAILS is dispatched every time props.cardId changes.
