Migrate from react UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps to getDerivedStateFromProps

Describe the issue We current use in the Graph component the react lifecycle method componentWillReiceveProps. This method has been deprecated in favor of getDerivedStateFromProps(props, state).

Expected Refactor UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps into getDerivedStateFromProps.

Environment: All.

Additional context Consider that no fundamental changes should be made in the current implementation of UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps, we only want to migrate the react bits in order to keep the library compliant with the newest versions of react.

can I take it? it’s really simple… it already took too much time of this issue

This issue is still ongoing, it happens that the migration is not that trivial due to the flow of execution change of getDerivedStateFromProps which gets executed at every render…

From react docs:

Note that this method is fired on every render, regardless of the cause. This is in contrast to UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps, which only fires when the parent causes a re-render and not as a result of a local setState.
