One common challenge in ReactJS is updating Child Components from Parent Component in a form. I faced this scenario recently where after a series of GET calls where the order is decided by the browser threads, data is not always available in the same order.

If you need to set some permissions based on an API GET call and then enable/disable a child component, you can use the following ReactJS lifecycle method:

//Parent Component
shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps, nextState) {
    if (nextState.formReady) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  }

Set the flag formReady in the series of successive GET calls to true, where you’re sure will be the last call on your Parent form.

//Parent Component GET call inside axios success.
this.setState(
{
  formReady: true,
},() => console.log(this.state.formReady);
);

The shouldComponentUpdate lifecycle method will check for the boolean value and will re-render or refresh the entire form including Child Components.

However, do refer to the documentation before using this method to decide if this suits your needs.
