Render Props Component creator

Why

I've been enjoying using render props lately and wanted to play with the concept.

It should also be fairly easy to add simple to reason about ssr support to the api.

Example

const ExampleCounter = renderProps({
  initialState: { count: 0 },
  createAction: ({ props, state }) => action => {
    switch(action) {
      case 'increment':
        return { count: state.count + 1 }  
      case 'decrement':
        return { count: state.count - 1 }  
      default:
        return {}
    }
  },
  getData: ({ props, state }) => ({ countText: `Count: ${state.count}` }),
})

export const Test: React.SFC = props => {
  return (
    <ExampleCounter>
      {({countText, action}) => (
        <>
          {countText}
          <button onClick={() => action('increment')}></button>
          <button onClick={() => action('decrement')}></button>
        <>
      )}
    </ExampleCounter>
  )
}

renderProps options

renderProps

• initialState - initial state for created renderProps Component
• createAction - creates an action which acts on state and props and returns a new state based on executions
• getData - use props and state to create static render props

React lifecycle

• didMount({ state, setState, props, forceUpdate })
• shouldUpdate({ state, props, nextProps, nextState })
• didUpdate({ state, setState, props, forceUpdate, prevProps, prevState })
• willUnmount({ state, props })

Possible additional apis

Declarative version.
