Ordering of componentDidMount events about react

I can see why that would cause issues… The way you're thinking about sounds like common sense so I hope that's actually true and that we're just firing these callbacks in the wrong order. So I agree, but that's without looking at the code closely

I think this makes sense. Here's my reasoning: One of the few valid reasons for wanting to use componentDidMount(node) (besides integrating with other frameworks) is to measure something's container. In order to do that accurately, the children might also want to have measured their own containers. For the parent's measurement to be accurate, the child's componentDidMount must have already completed.
