Thanks! Question, I'm a little confused or may not be understanding the lifecycle completely. I added the async/await in componentDidMount as I wanted the render the result of my fetch. However, it was never triggered. That said, if I put the async call in componentWillMount, it invoked my api twice (server/client) but since componentWillMount does not do re-render it doesn't do anything. Am I missing anything. Is there anything I need to do in the redux-store or boot-server to enable componentDidMount? I apologize if I'm not making sense.
