componentWillReceiveProps not firing

Question

In my other classes, componentWillReceiveProps was working nicely, but for some reason, it isn\'t firing here.

ItemView.jsx

class ItemView extends React.         


        

Answer 1

After much painful debugging, I found out that the problem was that ItemView was being called inside a modal (react-bootstrap) which for some reason, doesn't support componentWillReceiveProps(). Ended up fixing the issue by refactoring the code. Thanks guys!
