Recompose: Request to bring back lifecycle

[franklinkim]

Hi, wanted to know the reason why you removed the lifecycle helper on your latest release (v0.18.0) and maybe open a vote on bringing it back in some form if anyone else uses / requires this feature.

My use case looks sth like this:

const options = new Options({})

export const mapOptions = (options) => {
    return compose(
        withState('options', 'updateOptions', options.get()),
        mapProps(({updateOptions, ...rest}) => ({
            onUpdateOptions: () => {
                updateOptions(() => options.get())
            },
            ...rest,
        })),
        lifecycle((component) => {
            options.on('update', component.props.onUpdateFreezer)
        }, () => {
            options.off('update', component.props.onUpdateFreezer)
        })
    )
}

const options = new Options({})
const MyOptionComponent = mapOptions(options)(MyComponent)
options.set({foo: 'bar'}) // triggers 'update'

Basically options triggers update event on which I would like to update the props. Maybe there's a other (better) way to do this without creating a base class and extending it!?

Cheers

My tentative plan is to bring it back as a thin wrapper around React.createClass, except without the render method:

const enhance = lifecycle({
  componentDidMount() {},
  componentWillUnmount() {},
  // ...etc
})

I think this is a more flexible and straightfoward solution than what we had previously.

This looks great, I'm looking forward to it!
