Question on route handlers about react-mini-router

[srconklin]

In addition to the above question.. would there be a way in React-mini-router to do something that React Router does for "willTransitionTo"
https://github.com/rackt/react-router/blob/master/docs/api/components/RouteHandler.md

I am need of an authentication check on each request that redirects to a login page if the user is not logged in or times out etc...

The RouterMixin was designed to be used at the top level root component of an app. You can add your auth check in the root component's render method, and do conditional rendering there.

I'd have to think through pre/post callbacks for route handlers to see if it's possible to augment the existing v1.0 API without requiring a major version bump.

Code example:

var MyApp = React.createClass({

    mixins: [RouterMixin],

    render: function() {
        if (mustLogin) {
            return this.renderLogin();
        } else {
            return <div>{this.renderCurrentRoute()}</div>;
        }
    }

});
