WithMgnlProps HOC

If you inspect ha generated components, you can notice that each of the generated react component is wrapped with HOC (high order component), named WithMgnlProps.

This HOC is responsible for transforming json data received from magnolia delivery endpoints an passing this transformed data to child component as appropriate model.
Data model used by the component is defined by the yaml component definition (magnolia field definitions). So, in some cases (usually when using complex magnolia fields) we need to adapt the data that we are getting from magnolia to be easily consumed in the react component. For this purpose we use `WithMgnlProps` HOC.
