How to Add getInitialProps to a HOC-Wrapped Functional Component in Next.js

Next.js has gained immense popularity as a powerful React framework for building server-side rendered applications. One of the key features of Next.js is the ability to fetch data before rendering a component using the getInitialProps method. However, when using higher-order components (HOCs) with functional components, you might wonder how to properly implement getInitialProps. This guide will guide you through the process step by step.

Understanding the Problem

You might be working with a functional component that is wrapped by a HOC, and you want to utilize getInitialProps for data fetching. The question arises: how do you attach getInitialProps to this HOC-wrapped component?

Here’s the structure of the component you might have:

This setup is great for reusability and organizing your component logic, but to fetch initial data using getInitialProps, you need a different strategy.

The Solution

To effectively implement getInitialProps in a HOC-wrapped functional component, follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Define the New Component

First, you need to define a new component that combines your HOC with your base functional component. This is where you will attach the getInitialProps method.

Step 2: Implement getInitialProps

Here’s the code you need to add:

Breaking It Down

Wrap the Component: The first line ensures that you are wrapping your functional component with the HOC (wrapperHoc).

Attach getInitialProps: After defining the new component, you then add the getInitialProps method directly to it. This method fetches data from an API (in this case, from GitHub to get the number of stars for the Next.js repository).

Return the Data: The data fetched (e.g., stars) is returned from getInitialProps, making it available as props in your component.

Benefits of This Approach

Consistency: By using getInitialProps, you ensure that your component has all the necessary data before rendering.

Separation of Concerns: This method maintains the reusability of your HOCs without bloating them with data-fetching logic.

Easier Testing and Debugging: Each component’s logic (data fetching and rendering) remains separated which simplifies testing.

Conclusion

Integrating getInitialProps with a HOC-wrapped functional component in Next.js might seem challenging initially, but it becomes manageable when you understand the steps involved. By following this guide, you can empower your components with initial data fetching capability while maintaining clean and organized code.

Now go ahead, implement getInitialProps, and enhance the functionality of your Next.js applications!
