Learn how to use the ‘branch’ and ‘renderComponent’ higher-order components to show errors or messaging when your component is in a non-optimal state. Avoid putting extraneous logic to show errors or messaging into your core component by organizing your non-optimal states into custom higher-order components.
import React from 'react'; import { lifecycle, branch, compose, renderComponent } from 'recompose'; const User = ({ name, status }) => <div className="User">{ name }—{ status }</div>; const withUserData = lifecycle({ componentDidMount() { fetchData().then( (users) => this.setState({ users }), (error) => this.setState({ error }) ); } }); const UNAUTHENTICATED = 401; const UNAUTHORIZED = 403; const errorMsgs = { [UNAUTHENTICATED]: 'Not Authenticated!', [UNAUTHORIZED]: 'Not Authorized!', }; const AuthError = ({ error }) => error.statusCode && <div className="Error">{ errorMsgs[error.statusCode] }</div>; const NoUsersMessage = () => <div>There are no users to display</div>; // Mock Service const noUsers = []; const users = [ { name: "Tim", status: "active" }, { name: "Bob", status: "active" }, { name: "Joe", status: "inactive" }, { name: "Jim", status: "pending" }, ]; function fetchData() { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { setTimeout(() => { // reject({ statusCode: UNAUTHENTICATED }); // reject({ statusCode: UNAUTHORIZED }) // resolve(noUsers); resolve(users); }, 100); }); } const hasError = ({error}) => error && error.statusCode; const hasNoUser = ({users}) => users && users.length === 0; const enhance = compose( withUserData, branch(hasError, renderComponent(AuthError)), branch(hasNoUser, renderComponent(NoUsersMessage)), ); const User6 = enhance(({users}) => ( <div className="UserList"> { users && users.map((user) => <User {...user} />) } </div> )); export default User6;
