So I am learning React and was wondering about keeping a component in sync with the db. Is there a way other than constantly making an ajax call to the server using an interval , to update the component state? Also, what would be the ideal way to approach this?

I think you wanna do something like push notification, you could use to https://socket.io/ And send a notification from the server to front, if anything happens.

  • Wouldn't keeping a two way connection/ stream open be a bit of an overkill just to keep a check on the state? P.S. What would be the impact of such a connection on the server load? – Jagwant Sehgal Oct 26 '17 at 20:29
