Using deprecated unsafe life cycle method (componentWillReceiveProps)

Open scryan7371 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Bug This plugin is super useful however it makes use of the method componentWillReceiveProps which is no longer supported by React. React continues to evolve in many directions and now they are getting rid of classes in preference to functions. I still have clients that are React heavy but more and more are moving to other frameworks due to the instability and constant breaking changes being introduced to React.

React will continue to be a key framework for the future so maybe

  1. Rewrite to use functional paradigm
  2. Fix the deprecated method in the current class implementation

Could you point us to where componentWillReceiveProps is used?
