React Fast Mount

Demo website (demo code on the gh-pages branch)

Fast mount slow loading components for improved responsiveness and perceived performance. This allows a site to respond instantly to user input, even if it is to show a blank screen while the component is loading, so the site is perceived as fast and responsive.

The difference is most noticeable on mobile devices, especially slower devices.

Usage

React Fast Mount is a high order component (HOC) - just wrap your component in the Fast Mount function before export, e.g. export default fastMount(MyComponent);.

$ yarn add react-fast-mount
# OR 
$ npm install --save react-fast-mount

import React from 'react';
import fastMount from 'react-fast-mount';
 
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  ...
  render() {
    ...
  }
}
 
// wrap your component in fastMount to fast mount it
export default fastMount(MyComponent);
 
//  OR
 
// you can optionally provide a ReactElement as a second argument to use as a container
// for MyComponent - the container will be rendered on the first render (fast),
// and then MyComponent will be rendered inside of it on the second render
export default fastMount(MyComponent, <div style={{ height: '200px' }} />)
