I am working on a react app where I want to stop my component from unmounting based on some conditions.

As far as I have researched I found one option of setRouteLeaveHook using react router (as mentioned here). But the problem is I have same route i.e url is same for both components. Also I don't have this.props.router option or this.context.router option where I can pass this.

Is there something I can do ?

Actually the component i want to stop from unmounting is a child component whose route remains same all time. So how will it work when i am not changing any route ? – Shivani Dec 07 '17 at 12:26
why is the child component unmounting then? are you having a conditional rendering for it – Shubham Khatri Dec 07 '17 at 12:32
yes it's conditional rendering. – Shivani Dec 07 '17 at 12:34
Then you shouldn't render the component conditionally rather render the content of the component conditionally to avoid unmounting if the condition is false – Shubham Khatri Dec 07 '17 at 12:35
