#I have an app that loads data asynchronously and uses Helmet.
I have a <Helmet> component in App.js, and in a child component Category.js.
Whenever category gets enough data that it can update the page
attribute, I expect that the child's Helmet component will override the App's title tag.
<p>In <strong>App.js'</strong> render() method:</p>
<pre><code><Helmet
onChangeClientState={(newState) => console.log('Change app:', newState, 'Title: ' + this.props.siteInfo.site.title)}
title={this.props.siteInfo.site.title}
>
<meta property="twitter:title" content={this.props.siteInfo.site.title} />
{urlTag}
{linkTag}
<meta property="og:title" content={this.props.siteInfo.site.title} />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:description" content={this.props.siteInfo.site.title} />
{favicons.map(icon => {
return icon
})}
</Helmet>
</code></pre>
<p>In <strong>Category.js'</strong> render() method:</p>
<pre><code><Helmet
onChangeClientState={(newState) => console.log('Change category:', newState, 'Title: ' + title)}
title={title}
>
<meta property="og:title" content={title} />
<meta property="og:description" content={title} />
<meta property="twitter:title" content={title} />
</Helmet>
</code></pre>
<p>If I reload a category route, I expect the title tag to be the category once it's data comes back from the API. However it is always the site title rendered in App. I can see this because the App's <code>onChangeClientState</code> function is the last thing logged in the console. I would expect the Category's <code>onChangeClientState</code> to fire last.</p>
<p>If I navigate around the site a bit (go to the homepage and back to the category) the result is what I expect. However, on a simple page refresh, the child component doesn't render it's Helmet title.</p>
<p>I think I'm misunderstanding the flow of data within Helmet..?</p>
thx I found the fix
Mind sharing what was the fix? :)

Now reading back on my reply, no idea why I even replied with that. I'll look into it again and see what I have done back then as quite a lot of things have happened since back then and my memory lacks.
