Send actions from React component

[conradz]

I'm missing one big part of how this all works: how do I dispatch an action from an event handler in a React component? I don't see that ReactMixin or ReactComponent have methods for doing this. I could get the flux instance from context and dispatch actions there, but that seems very messy.

With FluxMixin, flux is accessible as this.flux, so you can do this:

this.flux.getActions('actions').someAction();

With FluxComponent, flux is a prop of the child:

this.props.flux.getActions('actions').someAction();

How would you prefer for this to work?

OK, that makes sense. I didn't realize that I could use FluxComponent/FluxMixin to get the flux instance (it doesn't seem that it's documented for the FluxMixin).

@conradz It is, just poorly I guess. I will update the docs to make them more clear. Thanks!
