How to use

Expects the Component to have two static methods:

Using old React.createClass() style:

const MyComponent = React.createClass({
  statics: {
    getStores(props) {
      return [myStore]
    },
    getPropsFromStores(props) {
      return myStore.getState()
    }
  },
  render() {
    // Use this.props like normal ...
  }
})
MyComponent = connectToStores(MyComponent)

Using ES6 Class:

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  static getStores(props) {
    return [myStore]
  }
  static getPropsFromStores(props) {
    return myStore.getState()
  }
  render() {
    // Use this.props like normal ...
  }
}
MyComponent = connectToStores(MyComponent)

Using ES7 Decorators (proposal, stage 0):

@connectToStores
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  static getStores(props) {
    return [myStore]
  }
  static getPropsFromStores(props) {
    return myStore.getState()
  }
  render() {
    // Use this.props like normal ...
  }
}
