react-promise-tracker

Work in progress

Simple promise tracker React Hoc.

Why do I need this?

Some time we need to track blocing promises (e.g. fetch http calls), and display a loading spinner, and some others not.

This library implements:

• A simple function that will make a promise to be tracked.
• An Hoc component that will allow us wrap a loading spinner (it will be displayed when the number of tracked request are greated than zero, hidden when not).

Installation

npm install react-promise-tracker --save

Usage

Whenever you want a promise to be tracked, just wrap it:

+ import { trackPromise} from 'react-promise-tracker';
//...

+ trackPromise(
    fetchUsers(); // You function that returns a promise
+ );

Then you only need to create a component that will defined a property called trackedPromiseInProgress

And wrap it around the promiseTrackerHoc

Sample:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
+ import { promiseTrackerHoc} from 'react-promise-tracker';

const InnerLoadingSpinerComponent = (props) => {
  return (
    <div>      
    {
      (props.trackedPromiseInProgress === true) ?
        <h3>Hey I'm a spinner loader wannabe !!!</h3>
      :
        null       
    }
  </div>  
  )
};

InnerLoadingSpinerComponent.propTypes = {
  trackedPromiseInProgress : PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
};

+ export const LoadingSpinnerComponent = promiseTrackerHoc(InnerLoadingSpinerComponent);
