## Why did we make it

There are already a couple of mixins or components that will link you Backbone model or collection with React, but with the introduction of [React Fiber (16.0)](https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2017/04/07/react-v15.5.0.html), the `React.createClass` syntax will be deprecated which would suggest mixins are no longer a way to go, thus we've reinvented the wheel once again and created *withBackbone*.

## How does it work

The [higher order component](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/higher-order-components.html) will loop through the props you passed in, and for each of those props who are either backbone model or backbone collection, it will be listen to certain events and `forceUpdate` if the events are triggered. Here is a table that summerizes the events that will trigger a `forceUpdate`:

| Backbone | Events |

| --- | --- |

| Model | Change|

| Collection | Add, Remove, Sort, Reset|

## To install 

``` npm install with-backbone```

## To Use In Code

```javascript

   import withBackbone from 'withBackbone';

   ...

   

   class TestClass extends React.Components {

   

    render () {

        return something that renders a backbone model or collection in props, for example user

     }

   }

   

   TestClass.PropTypes = {

      "User": PropTypes.instanceOf(Backbone.Model)

   }

   

   export default withBackbone(TestClass);

```

Now when your user changes, the view component re-render.
