Question: Refactor library with hooks

[jaybe78]

Hi @ScriptedAlchemy,

Any plan to use hooks instead of HOCs in the library ?

[ScriptedAlchemy]

Yeah, I'm working on another project which is very similar. It uses hooks, once I finalize it ill backport the mechanism to RUC

@ScriptedAlchemy I'll be more than happy to contribute if you need help

[ScriptedAlchemy]

I wouldn’t mind some assistance giving it updates. So if you’re keen I’ll gladly accept a pr!

Moving to hooks is tricky because the class based system lets me execute static’s ahead of time.

Do preload and prelodWeak really matters ?
The docs says that those statics can be called if there's a likelihood modules will show up soon.
To be honest I've not used those in my project, I'm mainly interested in code splitting and requiring module asynchronously. That's only from my point of view though, but I don't think that prevents us from building from scratch a new implementation of react universal with hooks.

Those were used previously but no they are no popular features. It could be possible to further upgrade. If you’re interested in getting something started. I’ll likely pick up the PR and help. Either way I need the suspense part. I’ve got a hooks based async component in webpack-external-import. Take a look at the src/react file. That might be able to be ported over
