Basically this should be like before. But there should be a strict equality comparison for the current and new config, like nextProps.djsConfig !== this.props.djsConfig.
Becuase this might not work on the initial render and it makes sense to keep the current logic to prevent any regressions.

i don't think componentWillUpdate gets called on the initial render - although you didn't say 'mount' so maybe i'm missing something.
I could see wrapping the whole thing in that strict equality comparison to make sure this doesn't run unless either of those 2 specific props changed - for performance reasons. Is that what you're looking for?
As far as i can tell there is no reason you would ever want to run the update with the old props like it is doing today.

I would use extend() to merge them.
I am not completely sure, also because this lifecycle method is deprecated in React 16 because of cases where it is always called.
