Component specific async things

[yatesco]

Hi!

Where would I put (typically async) logic that needs to exist only whilst a particular component is alive? I notice that an App has an init method, but a component doesn't.

In the react world, I would set up some timers which sync with a server when a particular component was open by starting the timer on the componentWillMount and componentWillUnmount lifecycle events.

A concrete use-case might be that I want to tail the server log, so I want a timer refreshing the page every X seconds, but only whilst the "Server Log" component is activated.

How would I achieve the same here?

Thanks!

I haven't put much thought about the init method being in the component. This could also be achieved using the on_mount event, however, there is no on_unmount event. The yew framework would probably suit your needs much better, since it follows react's design pattern.

thanks @ivanceras - I just detest the jsx/rsx style and much prefer the builder pattern :-)
