Script load in react

I don't think it's a good idea to load scripts in componentWillMount() or componentDidMount(), according to React Component Specs and Lifecycle.

The code below may help you.

function new_script(src) {
  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
    var script = document.createElement('script');
    script.src = src;
    script.addEventListener('load', function () {
      resolve();
    });
    script.addEventListener('error', function (e) {
      reject(e);
    });
    document.body.appendChild(script);
  })
};
// Promise Interface can ensure load the script only once.
var my_script = new_script('http://example.com/aaa.js');

class App extends React.Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      status: 'start'
    };
  }

  do_load = () => {
    var self = this;
    my_script.then(function() {
      self.setState({'status': 'done'});
    }).catch(function() {
      self.setState({'status': 'error'});
    })
  }

  render() {
    var self = this;
    if (self.state.status === 'start') {
      self.state.status = 'loading';
      setTimeout(function () {
        self.do_load()
      }, 0);
    }

    return (
      <div>{self.state.status}   {self.state.status === 'done' && 'here you can use the script loaded'}</div>
    );
  }
}
