Components can define display name for tracing purposes; if they don't the default name used is the component's class constructor name. Note that this method can be called before the virtual node is attached to the component.
Component properties. This is normally used only by managed components and is usually
undefined for independent components. This object can contains every property from the
TProps type and $on_ property for every event defined in the TEvents type.
Optional update strategy object that determines different aspects of component behavior during updates.
Sets, gets or clears the virtual node object of the component. This property is set twice:
If the component is scheduled to be updated, this method is invoked during the Mimbl tick after all components scheduled to be updated in this tick (including this one) has already been updated. This method should be implemented by components that require some DOM-writing after rendering. When this method is called, writing DOM information should be safe in regards to not causing layout thrashing. Don't do any DOM-reading activities in this method.
If the component is scheduled to be updated, this method is invoked during the Mimbl tick before any component scheduled to be updated in this tick (including this one) are updated. This method should be implemented by components that require some DOM-based calculations (like sizes and positions) for rendering. When this method is called, reading DOM information should be safe in regards to not causing layout thrashing. Don't do any DOM- writing activities in this method.
This method is only used by independent components.
Notifies the component that it replaced the given component. This allows the new component to copy whatever internal state it needs from the old component.
Handles an exception that occurred during the rendering of one of the component's children. If this method is not implemented or if it throws an error, the error will be propagated up the chain of components until it reaches a component that handles it. If none of the components can handle the error, the entire tree will be unmounted.
This method should only change the internal state of the component so that the render
method, which will be invoked right after the handleError method returns, will return
content reflecting the error.
An error object that was thrown during the component's own rendering or rendering of one of its descendants.
Returns the component's content that will be ultimately placed into the DOM tree.
This method is only used by managed components.
Informs the component that new properties have been specified. At the time of the call
this.props refers to the "old" properties. They will be changed to the new props right
after the call returns. If the component returns true, then its render
method will be called. If the component doesn't implement the shouldUpdate method it is
as though true is returned. If the component returns false, the render method is not
called and the DOM tree of the component remains unchanged. The component will have its
props member set to the new properties regardless of this method's return value.
If the component creates its internal structures based on properties, this call is the opportunity to change the internal structures to correspond to the new properties.
The new properties that the parent component provides to this component.
True if the component should have its render method called and false otherwise.
Notifies that the component is about to render its content for the first time. This method is called when the virtual node has already been set so the component can request services from it.
Notifies that the component's content is going to be removed from the DOM tree. After this method returns, a managed component is destroyed.
Represents the instance type of class-based components that can be used in JSX. That is, all managed components must implement this interface.
