    this.state = {
      params: {
        sort:      'id',
        direction: 'asc'
      }
    }
  }

  // fetch data for the first time
  componentDidMount() {
    this.props.dispatch(fetchRecords(this.state.params))
  }

  // fetch only when params get updated
  componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) {
    if (this.state.params !== prevState.params) {
      this.props.dispatch(fetchRecords(this.state.params))
    }
  }

  // update params state when sortable column is clicked
  handleSortChange(sort, direction) {
    this.setState({params: {
      ...this.state.params,
      key,
      direction

  render() {
    const {sort, direction} = this.state.params
    return (
      <table className="table table-hover table-bordered">
