comment: <> ([ React New Window - Pop new windows in React, using window.open API. (.github/banner.svg)](#features))

Inspired by David Gilbertson's article.
Pseudo-fork of react-new-window by Rubens Mariuzzo

Features

Small footprint
Support the full window.open api.
Built for React 16 and 17 (uses ReactDOM.createPortal).
Handler for blocked popups (via onBlock prop).
Handler for created popups (via onOpen prop)
Center popups according to the parent window or screen.
No external dependencies Only React 16 or 17 as a peer dependency.

What's different from `react-new-window`?

Codebase has been rewritten in TypeScript with many bugs discovered and fixed in the process.
Codebase uses React hooks making react-new-improved-window functionally declarative.
closeWithParent property indicating to close the new window when the parent window closes.
Installation doesn't require the --force switch since both React 16 and 17 are supported.
If the title property is missing the new window will use the parent window's title.
The features property no longer require height and width if not given and the center property is set then this will default to height: 600, width: 640.
Note: Internet Explorer will no longer be supported.

Installation

npm i react-new-improved-window --save

Usage

import React from 'react'
import NewImprovedWindow from 'react-new-improved-window'

const Demo = () => (
  <Index>
    <h1>Hi 👋</h1>
  </Index>
)

When <Index /> is mounted a popup window will be opened. When unmounted then the popup will be closed.

The children contents is what will be rendered into the new popup window. In that case Hi 👋 will be the content. The content can include any react-stateful code.
