React + Recompose: Calling Multiple HOC Wrappers

Posted

in

PROBLEM

Sometimes, wrapping a React component with multiple High Order Components (HOC) can get rather unwieldy and unreadable.

For example:-

import React from 'react';
import { withRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import { withStyles } from 'material-ui/styles';
import withWidth from 'material-ui/utils/withWidth';

class MyComponent extends React.PureComponent {
	// ...
}

export default withRouter(withStyles(styles)(withWidth()(MyComponent)));

SOLUTION

To fix this, we can leverage recompose library.

Now, we can rewrite the above example like this:-

import React from 'react';
import { withRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import { withStyles } from 'material-ui/styles';
import withWidth from 'material-ui/utils/withWidth';
import compose from 'recompose/compose';

class MyComponent extends React.PureComponent {
	// ...
}

export default compose(
  withRouter,
  withStyles(styles),
  withWidth(),
)(MyComponent);

Keep in mind, the HOC order defined in compose(..) is important.
