This repository is unmaintained due to my lack of time and due to not keeping up with Gun or using it in any of my projects.

React Gun

Simple Higher-Order Component for GunDB in React

Installation

Install with yarn or npm

yarn add react-gun

Initialize GunProvider to make your Gun() object available to any component...

App.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Gun from 'gun';
import { GunProvider } from 'react-gun';

const App = props => {
  // Initialize all your app stuff
  let gun = Gun();
  return (
    <GunProvider gun={gun}>
      <ComponentThatUsesGun />
    </GunProvider>
  );
};
export default App;

Then call your gun instance by wrapping your component with {withGun}like so

Component.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { withGun } from 'react-gun';

class ComponentThatUsesGun extends Component {
  state = {
    foo: null,
  };
  componentDidMount() {
    // Get objects from Gun() instance and use it to update state or do whatever else you'd like with it
    this.props.gun.get('foo').on(bar => {
      this.setState({
        foo: bar,
      });
    });
  }
  render() {
    if (!this.state.foo) {
      return <div>Loading...</div>;
    }
    return <div>{this.state.foo}</div>;
  }
}

export default withGun(ComponentThatUsesGun);
