Interesting to see this implemented as a mixin when they just announced yesterday they are fully supporting es6. Looking forward to building some side projects with this and seeing how it compares to using react + flux.

I've been creating an application with Meteor and React* and it has been pretty easy thus far. Although I'm not using the official Meteor-React package, it does a lot of the same things that the official package does. The unofficial package also uses a mixin to use with React classes.

*edit: Meant to say React instead of flux

I would love to see this. I really love flux and want to get flux into it, not just react. If it's open source, I'd really appreciate a github link :D.

Hi, I wrote this blog post.

We were trying to keep our API surface area small with one way to load data into components, but you're right -- we should probably /also/ add a ES6 base class as a second option, and let the people choose which they prefer.

A lot of React developers still prefer mixins -- react-router recently switched from mixins to ES6 classes and then changed their mind "until ES6 classes have better answers to replace what mixins do (like decorators).": https://github.com/rackt/react-router/blob/master/UPGRADE_GU...

Please provide a higher-order component or ES7 decorator (assuming ES7 will be supported?), would rather not use inheritance.

That is very disappointing. Decorators already exist in Babel and they work perfectly. I don't know what they're waiting for

The community is pretty divided and es6 classes are fairly controversial. Don't be too surprised to see a lot of people avoid them. On purpose. And it's not because they aren't familiar with OOP.

Will Meteor work with React Native? I'd guess so, since React Native implements XHR and other non-DOm APIs one might expect to find in a browser.

They alluded to it here: http://info.meteor.com/blog/whats-coming-in-meteor-12-and-be...

>"Mobile advances. There are many exciting possibilities in the mobile build toolchain, from new technologies like React Native to a wide range of tooling opportunities relating to cross-platform building and debugging.

With your help, we'll have more to say about these over the coming months."
