React Refetch

Overview

React Refetch is a simple, declarative, and composable way to fetch data for React components. Inspired by React Redux, this project offers a solution for applications that primarily fetch and render read-only data from a server without over-complicating the architecture.

Features

• Declarative Data Fetching: Map props to URLs to fetch data sources in a declarative manner.
• Stateless Components: Keep components completely stateless and delegate data fetching complexities to the module.
• Advanced Options: Support for lazy loading data, polling for new data, and posting data to the server.

Installation

To install React Refetch, ensure you have React 0.14 or later. Use npm package manager with a module bundler like Webpack or Browserify. The following ES6 functions are required:

// Install React Refetch
npm install react-refetch

// Import in your component
import { connect } from 'react-refetch';

Summary

React Refetch offers a convenient way to fetch and manage data in React components without complicating the architecture. By providing a declarative approach to mapping props to URLs and handling data fetching, this module enables developers to create stateless components and focus on rendering read-only data efficiently. With support for advanced options like lazy loading and polling, React Refetch simplifies data fetching in React applications.
