Usage

For prefetching enable you need only 2 steps:

1. Add static method prefetch to your component that returns a Promise

// component.jsx
import React, ( Component ) from 'react';

let asyncData = {};

class MyComponent extends Component {
  static prefetch(props) {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
      fetch(`/data/${props.id}`)
        .then(data => {
          asyncData = data;
          resolve();
        });
    });
  }
  
  render() {
    const { foo, bar } = asyncData;
    ...
  }
}

2. Wrap Router childs in a component Prefetch from this package

export default MyComponent;

// routes.jsx
import { BrowserRouter as Router } from 'react-router';
import Prefetch from 'react-router-prefetch';
import Routes from '...';

const App = (history) => (
  <Router history={history}>
    <Prefetch
      onError={message => window.alert(message)}
    >
      <Routes />
    </Prefetch>
  </Router>
)

export default App;

Handle prefetch in redux saga

1. Same as previous example, but prefetch method should be created by createSagaPrefetch

// component.jsx
import React, ( Component ) from 'react';
import { createSagaPrefetch } from 'react-router-prefetch';

class MyComponent extends Component {
  static prefetch = props => createSagaPrefetch({
    props,
    'ACTION_TYPE',
    // payload
    {
      key: props.id,
    },
  })
  
  render() {
    ...
  }
}

2. Add handler into your saga

// sagas.js
import { call, put } from 'redux-saga/effects';

import api from './api';
import types from './types';

function* fetchData({ payload, resolve, reject }) {
  try {
    const data = yield call(api, payload);

    yield put({
      type: types.DATA_SUCCESS,
      payload: data,
    });

    resolve();
  } catch (e) {
    yield put({
      type: types.DATA_FAILURE,
      payload: e,
    });

    reject(e);
  }
}
