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

i also had the same problem. if someone typed in a direct url the componentwillreceiveprops did not fire. i had to refactor my code as well to get it all working.

Changes i made was in my initial index.tsx having something like (i.e. have the router as the outer element):

render( 

{routes}

, document.getElementById('root'));

my default route was to my app.tsx page with a structure as follows: render() {

return (
 
   

           {this.props.children}
   
 
);

}
