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

In my case my component was being re-created every render, so I had to put my logic in the constructor. I know its not ideal but it was a simple component and was easier for me to do than try to fix the issue that was causing the component to get re-created each time.
