Higher-order Components Helpers

Higher-order component is awesome way to extend components functionality. But higher-order components have one nasty problem — we have no access to wrapped component. This small module tries to solve that problem.

FAQ

Why do you need access to wrapped component?

What is "dumb" component?

ES6

import {hocDecorator, getWrappedComponent} from 'hoc';
 
const smartComponentDecorator = hocDecorator(Component => class SmartComponent {
  render() {
    return <Component />;
  }
});
 
@smartComponentDecorator
class DumbComponent {
  render() {/* */}
}
 
console.log(DumbComponent.name); // SmartComponent
console.log(getWrappedComponent(DumbComponent).name); // DumbComponent

ES5

var hoc = require('hoc');
 
var DumbComponent = React.createClass({
  render: function() {/* */}
});
 
var SmartComponent = hoc(DumbComponent, React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    return <DumbComponent />;
  }
}))
 
console.log(SmartComponent.displayName); // SmartComponent
console.log(hoc.getWrappedComponent(SmartComponent).displayName); // DumbComponent
