 * encapsulates an effect that will fetch methodData when the component mounts,
 * and subsequently anytime the provided data attribute changes. Note that
 * the getContractMethodData action handles over-fetching prevention, first checking
 * if the data is in the store and returning it directly. While using this hook
 * in multiple places in a tree for the same data will create extra event ticks and
 * hit the action more frequently, it should only ever result in a single store update
 * @param {string} data the transaction data to find method data for
 * @return {Object} contract method data
