Install

This project uses node and npm.

npm install --save watchelement

Then with a module bundler like webpack or another bundling solution:

import WatchElementProvider from 'watchelement/provider';

Support

watchElement relys on MutationObserver to keep track of the elements within the DOM. All modern browsers are supported by this spec, but developers are encouraged to review the browser support list before implementing this library into their project.

Usage

import WatchElementProvider from 'watchelement/provider';
import WatchElementHOC from 'watchelement/hoc';

const Check = () => <div>Display me!</div>;
const WrappedCheck = WatchElement('.check')(Check);

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <WrappedCheck />
  </div>
);

ReactDOM.render(
  <WatchElementProvider>
    <App />
  </WatchElementProvider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
