In memoriam HOCs and Render Props 

import epitath from 'epitath'
...

const App = epitath(function*() {
  const { loading, data } = yield <Query />
  const { time } = yield <Time />

  return (
    <div className="App">
      {loading ? (
        <h1>Loading</h1>
      ) : (
        <div>
          <h1>{`Hello, ${data.user.name}`}</h1>
          <h2>The time is {time.toLocaleString()}!</h2>
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  )
})

npm package

Compose HOCs imperatively like async/await. No callback hell!

Live demo Source of demo

Install

yarn add epitath

or

npm install --save epitath

Why

Render props are amazing for providing more functionality but once you need to stack a bunch of them you get what recalls a painful callback hell.

<Query>
  {({ data }) =>
    <Mutation>
      {({ mutate, result })=>
        <Form>
        etc
        </Form>
}
    </Mutation>
}
</Query>

How

Wait, we just mentioned "callback hell". So what if we had a function that would allow us to have a kind of sugar for continuation-passing-style? Or async/await feels.

And that's exactly what epitath is, it just takes care of the callbacks for you. The whole code is this:

import React from 'react'
import immutagen from 'immutagen'

export default component => {
  const generator = immutagen(component)

  const compose = context => {
    const value = context.value
    return context.next
      ? React.cloneElement(value, null, values => compose(context.next(values)))
      : value
  }

  function Epitath(props) {
    return compose(generator(props))
  }

  Epitath.displayName = `EpitathContainer(${component.displayName || 'anonymous'})`

  return Epitath
}

How is this different from Suspense?

Suspense only allows you to evalulate a promise once. It does not allow you to trigger a re-render for a state update. And with epitath you can even use Formik, Apollo optimistic, React Powerplug and Smalldots tooling and etc!
