I'm working on a prototype for a web app and I chose NextJS because I wanted to learn it better, but I realize I'm not using it in the "standard" way. I started from the Next + Material-UI example here: https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/master/examples/nextjs and all was good.
But now, I'm trying to persist data using sessionStorage, and I'm finding it difficult to make this work without being able to use the componentDidMount lifecycle event at the page-level. Next's documentation says that projects with a custom _document.js file won't have the componentDidMount method client-side. My project uses a custom document file due to Material-UI. It seems like it's there to support server-side rendering of css-in-js frameworks.
If I don't need server-side rendering, is there a way I can keep Material-UI working, but do away with the custom _document.js file so I can use componentDidMount?
You should be fine using both sessionStorage and a custom document.
componentDidMount (and any other lifecycle method) is not working only for _document.js as this is not rendered client side.
sessionStorage is part of the window so you will be fine using it on any other page/component using the componentDidMount lifecycle.

I'm trying to add a simple Feedback form. I have seen several written as a React component. Where/how would I put this React component so that it would show, ideally on the bottom of each topic page, in my Docusaurus configuration files? Or how are other people doing this, in Docusaurus, for their documentation websites.
you could use MDX as one approach, you could also develop a plugin using the available lifecycle APIs, for example:
If you can inject scripts in the <head> you can use the injectHtmlTags lifecycle API as demonstrated in docusaurus-plugin-hubspot; or
To add elements to the DOM you can use the postBuild lifecycle API as demonstrated in docusaurus-plugin-structured-data
I have created one search component using stencil and I'm integrating this stencil codebase with my react application via cdn link. I'm displaying the search component(which was created in stencil) as below in my react codebase :
<custom-search placeholder="Search"></custom-search>
The search component contains a search icon. I need to pass the text in search input field to my react code on click of this icon. How can this be achieved?
Unfortunately I haven't integrate Stencil JS component with React, but passing string data to web component should be working without too much hassle. Do you know if your React app can properly recognize your custom-search component? If not, then you might want to take a look at a link to Stencil JS official document of integrating Stencil JS component to React and make sure component get properly loaded and integrated.
If you know for sure you load the component then not sure why your placeholder is not set within your component - it is just a string after all. Maybe post the custom-search component code, as there might be issue with that (i.e. component lifecycle event you are using might not be doing what you expect to do)
Could you clarify the actual problem, please? :)
Does the component not get rendered, or are you unable to achieve communication from custom-search to the React app?
If the latter is the case, you might want to implement a Custom Event on the Stencil component, to communicate changes back to the consuming app.
As #tomokat mentioned, you should follow the official Stencil React integration docs. This is required, since React cannot handle Custom Events natively, and requires some help from the dev.
Edit: Sorry, I got confused by the first answer. Your title is quite clear, though. If you can show some example code of the component and the React integration, we could probably help in a better way.
I heard "grommet with reactjs" has good UI. So I want to try "grommet" on my environment. But I couldn't understand how to use "grommet". Because I expected this module can work on usual internet browser only. But sometime some websites explained "to use node.js" for grommet. Is this serverside module? Can't use "grommet" internet browser only?
https://v2.grommet.io/
I already read component's page but I wasn't able to understand.
https://v2.grommet.io/components
React is a framework for creating UI components.
Grommet is a set of components built with React. If you need a calendar in your application, you can use the calendar provided by Grommet instead of building your own.
Another example of a component library similar to Grommet is Blueprint.
You can use Grommet wherever you use React. React is meant to be displayed in a browser. React can also be rendered server-side (into static HTML) and then made 'dynamic' again on the client (browser side).
React is javascript, and if you want to see React in a browser, the browser needs to fetch the javascript and HTML from the website from a server/website. You can, but do not have to, use Node.js to serve your React/Grommet website.
I've created a react redux project, now how do I add some SEO functionalities to project? I do not want to waste much time while refactoring codes.
You need to setup the redux store on the server and pass its initial state down to the client, so that the server-render and initial client render don't differ
Not all life cycle functions are called on the serverside, mainly componentDidMount is not called. This indeed helps if you want to do some AJAX data fetching (which you only want to do on the client).
If you are using react-router you need to setup the serverside route matching
Here are some more details: React can be used on server side rendering. What does that mean?
I'm a newbie for React Native and I don't have native development experience(I only worked on several hybrid apps), while learning this react native framework, I get several questions which block my learning.
How to navigate from one page(component) to another page(component) without relying on navigatorIOS or navigator component? In Hybrid develop mode, it's so easy, just add element A with href attribute would work, but in React Native, how to do it? I read some examples, they all use navigator or navigateIOS component to do it.
Is there any interceptor mechanism in react native so that we could inject some logic before rendering or loading component, for example, we want to have interceptor to check whether user has been login?
How to save data globally (cross components)? In Hybrid mode, we have session, we have local storage, and if we angular JS framework, we could use Service or root Scope to save data, by using react native, how do we save data cross components?
Since I'm new to react native and new to native application development, these questions might be fairly stupid, if anyone could help on this.
I don't know i'm answering to your question but please check this router component for react
https://github.com/rackt/react-router
ComponentWillMount and ComponentDidMount can be used to perform some initial loading
You can use flux framework along with React which can do almost all like in angular js
