Introduction

Stripes Connect provides essentially one service: the ability to upgrade a regular React component into a Connected Component. This is done by importing the connect() method from stripes-connect, defining a data manifest, and exporting not the React component itself but the result of wrapping it in a call to connect():

import { Component } from 'react';
import { connect } from 'stripes-connect';
class MyStripesComponent extends Component {
  static manifest = { 'resourceName': { params: values } };
  // ...
}
export default connect(MyStripesComponent, 'moduleName');

The API and data manifest are explained in detail in The Stripes Connect API. A complete worked example of a connected component for editing patrons is explained in A component example: the PatronEdit component.
