Static OptionalpropTypes

OptionalcomponentDidCatch

• componentDidCatch(error: Error, errorInfo: ErrorInfo): void

  Catches exceptions generated in descendant components. Unhandled exceptions will cause the entire component tree to unmount.

  Parameters

  • error: Error
  • errorInfo: ErrorInfo

  Returns void

OptionalcomponentDidMount

• componentDidMount(): void

  Called immediately after a component is mounted. Setting state here will trigger re-rendering.

  Returns void

OptionalcomponentDidUpdate

• componentDidUpdate(
      prevProps: Readonly<MessageViewProps>,
      prevState: Readonly<{}>,
      snapshot?: any,
  ): void

  Called immediately after updating occurs. Not called for the initial render.

  The snapshot is only present if getSnapshotBeforeUpdate is present and returns non-null.

  Parameters

  • prevProps: Readonly<MessageViewProps>
  • prevState: Readonly<{}>
  • Optionalsnapshot: any

  Returns void

OptionalcomponentWillMount

• componentWillMount(): void

  Called immediately before mounting occurs, and before Component.render. Avoid introducing any side-effects or subscriptions in this method.

  Note: the presence of NewLifecycle.getSnapshotBeforeUpdate getSnapshotBeforeUpdate or StaticLifecycle.getDerivedStateFromProps getDerivedStateFromProps prevents this from being invoked.

  Returns void

  Deprecated

  16.3, use ComponentLifecycle.componentDidMount componentDidMount or the constructor instead; will stop working in React 17

OptionalcomponentWillReceiveProps

• componentWillReceiveProps(
      nextProps: Readonly<MessageViewProps>,
      nextContext: any,
  ): void

  Called when the component may be receiving new props. React may call this even if props have not changed, so be sure to compare new and existing props if you only want to handle changes.

  Calling Component.setState generally does not trigger this method.

  Note: the presence of NewLifecycle.getSnapshotBeforeUpdate getSnapshotBeforeUpdate or StaticLifecycle.getDerivedStateFromProps getDerivedStateFromProps prevents this from being invoked.

  Parameters

  • nextProps: Readonly<MessageViewProps>
  • nextContext: any

  Returns void

  Deprecated

  16.3, use static StaticLifecycle.getDerivedStateFromProps getDerivedStateFromProps instead; will stop working in React 17

  • https://legacy.reactjs.org/blog/2018/03/27/update-on-async-rendering.html#gradual-migration-path

OptionalcomponentWillUnmount

• componentWillUnmount(): void

  Called immediately before a component is destroyed. Perform any necessary cleanup in this method, such as cancelled network requests, or cleaning up any DOM elements created in componentDidMount.

  Returns void

OptionalcomponentWillUpdate

• componentWillUpdate(
      nextProps: Readonly<MessageViewProps>,
      nextState: Readonly<{}>,
      nextContext: any,
  ): void

  Called immediately before rendering when new props or state is received. Not called for the initial render.

  Note: You cannot call Component.setState here.

  Note: the presence of NewLifecycle.getSnapshotBeforeUpdate getSnapshotBeforeUpdate or StaticLifecycle.getDerivedStateFromProps getDerivedStateFromProps prevents this from being invoked.

  Parameters

  • nextProps: Readonly<MessageViewProps>
  • nextState: Readonly<{}>
  • nextContext: any

  Returns void

  Deprecated

  16.3, use getSnapshotBeforeUpdate instead; will stop working in React 17

forceUpdate

• forceUpdate(callback?: () => void): void

  Parameters

  • Optionalcallback: () => void

  Returns void

OptionalgetSnapshotBeforeUpdate

• getSnapshotBeforeUpdate(
      prevProps: Readonly<MessageViewProps>,
      prevState: Readonly<{}>,
  ): any

  Runs before React applies the result of Component.render render to the document, and returns an object to be given to componentDidUpdate. Useful for saving things such as scroll position before Component.render render causes changes to it.

  Note: the presence of this method prevents any of the deprecated lifecycle events from running.

  Parameters

  • prevProps: Readonly<MessageViewProps>
  • prevState: Readonly<{}>

  Returns any

setState

• setState<K extends never>(
      state:
          | null
          | {}
          | (
              prevState: Readonly<{}>,
              props: Readonly<MessageViewProps>,
          ) => null | {} | Pick<{}, K>
          | Pick<{}, K>,
      callback?: () => void,
  ): void

  Type Parameters

  • K extends never

  Parameters

  • state:
        | null
        | {}
        | (
            prevState: Readonly<{}>,
            props: Readonly<MessageViewProps>,
        ) => null | {} | Pick<{}, K>
        | Pick<{}, K>
  • Optionalcallback: () => void

  Returns void

OptionalshouldComponentUpdate

• shouldComponentUpdate(
      nextProps: Readonly<MessageViewProps>,
      nextState: Readonly<{}>,
      nextContext: any,
  ): boolean

  Called to determine whether the change in props and state should trigger a re-render.

  Component always returns true. PureComponent implements a shallow comparison on props and state and returns true if any props or states have changed.

  If false is returned, Component.render, componentWillUpdate and componentDidUpdate will not be called.

  Parameters

  • nextProps: Readonly<MessageViewProps>
  • nextState: Readonly<{}>
  • nextContext: any

  Returns boolean

OptionalUNSAFE_componentWillMount

• UNSAFE_componentWillMount(): void

  Called immediately before mounting occurs, and before Component.render. Avoid introducing any side-effects or subscriptions in this method.

  This method will not stop working in React 17.

  Note: the presence of NewLifecycle.getSnapshotBeforeUpdate getSnapshotBeforeUpdate or StaticLifecycle.getDerivedStateFromProps getDerivedStateFromProps prevents this from being invoked.

  Returns void
