Installation:

This library is available on npm, install it with: npm i react-render-destination or yarn add react-render-destination.

Usage:

1. [Optional]: Unless you need multiple subscriptions with the same name in different destinations of your app, you don't have to wrap the root component with RenderDestinationProvider.

import {RenderDestinationProvider} from 'react-render-destination';

return (
  <RenderDestinationProvider>
    <App />
  </RenderDestinationProvider>
);

2. Add the RenderDestination where you want to render the component into.

import {RenderDestination} from 'react-render-destination';

return (
  <>
    <App />
    <RenderDestination
      name={'destination'}
      renderer={(container) => <div>{container}</div>}
    />
  </>
);

• name: [required] the name of your destination.
• renderer: [optional] if you want to wrap the received component with a custom parent (the default is a React fragment)

3. Add the RenderTo where you want to render the component from:

import {RenderTo} from 'react-render-destination';

return (
  <RenderTo name={'destination'}>
    <p>Hello I am the content that will be rendered in the destination</p>
  </RenderTo>
);

• name: [required] the name of the destination, should be the same as the one in RenderDestination.
• children: [required] the component you want to render in the destination.

The resulting code will be something like as far as the original component is mounted (step 3):

return (
  <>
    <App />
    <div>
      <p>Hello I am the content that will be rendered in the destination</p>
    </div>
  </>
);
