React-new-window NPM

Inspired by David Gilbertson's article.

Features

Only 3.68KB (gzipped!).
Support the full window.open api.
Built for React 16 (uses ReactDOM.createPortal).
Handler for blocked popups (via onBlock prop).
Center popups according to the parent window or screen.

Installation

npm i react-new-window --save

Usage

import React from 'react'
import NewWindow from 'react-new-window'

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

When <NewWindow /> 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.
