React.js - observable states like observable in Ember.js

Question

In ember I could write something like this:

statusChanged(){
//...do some code
}.observes('observableProperty')

What is the right way to do the similar work in React.js?

Answer 1

You can do your logic in component lifecycle methods componentWillMount , componentWillReceiveProps and others. Whenever you pass new props to a component it will run throutg lifecycle. Read more about it

Alternatively you can use Rx.js . But conceptually I dont think it is a correct approach. React implies you to manipulate props and states of a component and handle all logic in lifecycle or in synthetic events.
