FAQ

What if my component is also used client side only ?

If the component isn't rendered server side, it will render and behave normally. You can disable this by setting disableFallback at true.

What if I don't want to hydrate but still want to update the DOM ?

You can use onUpdate to update the DOM after a props update.

Props

forceHydration

Pass forceHydration at true to force hydration even if the component was rendered server side.

import withoutHydration from "react-without-hydration";
import Card from "../Card";

const CardWithoutHydration = withoutHydration()(Card);

export default class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return <CardWithoutHydration title="my card" forceHydration />;
    }
}

Options

onUpdate

A function to update the DOM after a props update.

Receives props and ref which are the props passed to the component and its ref which represent the Dom node of the component.

import withoutHydration from "react-without-hydration";
import Card from "../Card";

const CardWithoutHydration = withoutHydration({
    onUpdate: ({ title }, ref) => {
        ref.getElementsByClassName("title")[0].innerHTML = label;
    }
})(Card);

disableFallback

A boolean set at false by default.

Allows you to disable the server-side rendering check, which means that the component will never be rendered, even if it has not been rendered on the server side. Can be usefull if you don't render a component wrapped by withoutHydration server side, but you do client side. Be cautious.

import withoutHydration from "react-without-hydration";
import Card from "../Card";

const CardWithoutHydration = withoutHydration({
    disableFallback: true
})(Card);
