# ImmutablePureComponent

Unfortunately `React.PureComponent` is not embracing `Immutable.js` to it full
potential. While `Immutable.js` provides [hash value](https://facebook.github.io/immutable-js/docs/#/ValueObject/hashCode),
witch allows for fast comparison of two different instances
`React.PureComonent` is only comparing addresses of those instances.

The `ImmutablePureComponent` uses [is](https://facebook.github.io/immutable-js/docs/#/is) to compare values and
extends component functionality by introducing:
* `updateOnProps`
* `updateOnStates`

With those properties you can specify list of props or states that will be
checked for changes. If value is `undefined` (default) then all `props` and
`state` will be checked, otherwise array of keys or paths is expected. The path
is an `Array` of keys like in the example below. Path values are working for
any mix of supported collection as long as given key exists, otherwise checked
value is `undefined`. `Immutable.Collection`, plain Objects, Arrays, es6 Map
and any collection providing `get` and `has` functionality are all supported.

```
type UpdateOn = Array<$Keys | any[]>;

export class ImmutablePureComponent<
Props,
State = void,
> extends React$Component {

updateOnProps: UpdateOn;
updateOnStates: UpdateOn;
}

export default ImmutablePureComponent;
```

# immutableMemo

With React `16.6.0` we ware introduced to `React.memo` a `React.PureComponent`
equivalent for functional components. And the same story goes here,
unfortunately `React.memo` is not fully embracing `Immutable` potential. That
is where `immutableMemo` steps in. This is wrapper over `React.memo` with
custom comparison function. `immutableMemo` accepts component as first argument
and optionally array of property keys or paths the same way as `updateOnProps`
is working for `ImmutablePureComponent`.

```
export function immutableMemo(
component: React$ComponentType,
updateOnProps?: UpdateOn,
): React$ComponentType;
```

### Example
In this example component will update when value of `me` is change and will
ignore changes of `data`, `check` or any other property. Component will also
update on change of first element of `buzz` or change to `type` and will ignore
changes to the rest of the state.

```js
class Example extends ImmutablePureComponent {
state = {
fis: {
buzz: Immutable.List([10, 11])
ignore: 'this',
},
type: undefined,
};

updateOnStates = [
['fis', 'buzz', 0],
'type',
];

updateOnProps = [
['data', 'check', 'me'],
];

render() {...}
}

let data = Immutable.Map({ check: new Map([['me', true]]) })

ReactDOM.render( {}}, root);
```
