Wrap a promise to avoid memory leak and warning after component is unmounted.

Fix a common warning that says Can only update a mounted or mounting component. This usually means you called setState() on an unmounted component. This is a no-op. Please check the code for the undefined component.;

npm install react-safe-promise -save

For babel 5 (React native <= 0.15), you can use decorator:

import safePromise from 'react-safe-promise';

@safePromise
export default class MyComponent extends React.Component

For babel 6 (React native >= 0.16), you must use as a function

import safePromise from 'react-safe-promise';

class MyComponent extends React.Component{
}

export default safePromise(MyComponent);

this.safePromise(fetch(url))
  .then(resp=>this.safePromise(resp.json()))
  .then(data=>this.setState({data:data}));

If the promise returned by fetch(url) is resolved after the component was unmounted, no following callback will be called. And, the reference to component will be released quickly after the component was unmounted.

Wrap a component class to support this.safePromise() method.

Wrap a promise, return a new promise, which will not keep reference to this after this was unmounted.
