react-remount

A simple component that injects a pre-defined prop as a key to the wrapped component, thus ensuring a re-mounting (a state reset) each time this prop is changed

Install

npm install --save react-remount

Usage

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import withRemount from 'react-remount';
 
class MyLib extends Component {
  render () {
    const {firstName, lastName} = this.props
    return (
      <div>{`Hello ${firstName} ${lastName}`}</div>
    )
  }
}
 
MyLib = withRemount(MyLib, 'firstName');
export default MyLib;

Now when ever we use MyLib, react-remount will inject the value of firstName as a key.

<MyLib firstName="John" lastName="Doe>

We can also pass a function to withRemount, as long as this function returns a string.
This is helpful when you want to chain multiple props as your key:

MyLib = withRemount(MyLib, props => props.firstName + props.lastName);
