React New Window

Pop new windows in React, using window.open.

Inspired by David Gilbertson's article (must read, must follow).

Features

  • Only 2.68KB (gzipped!).
  • Support the full window.open api.
  • Built for React 16 (uses ReactDOM.createPortal).
  • Handler for blocked popups (via onBlock prop).
  • Center popups according to the parent window or screen.

Installation

  • npm install react-new-window --save

    or

  • yarn add react-new-window

Usage

import React from 'react'
import NewWindow from 'react-new-window'

const Demo = () => (
  <NewWindow>
    <h1>Hi 👋</h1>
  </NewWindow>
)

When <NewWindow /> is mounted a popup window will be opened. When unmounted then the popup will be closed.

The children contents is what will be rendered into the new popup window. In that case Hi 👋 will be the content. The content can include any react-stateful code.
