ampersand-react-mixin

Mixin for react classes to easily listen for changes and re-render from ampersand models/collections.

How it works

This auto-listens to any ampersand model or collection that is passed to it as a prop. And re-renders the component on changes. It also unregisters the listener when the component is unmounted.

You can also optionally create a method in your component called: getObservedItems.

This will get called to determine which things should be watched.

Or you can explicitly call watch on the component and pass an ampersand model, state, or collection object.

If it's a collection, it listens to 'add remove reset sort' events. If it's a State object, it listens to 'change' events.
