Drop alt-resolver use AltIso.render

• Drop alt instances, come back to singleton!
• Rewrite async actions with datasources from alt (http://alt.js.org/docs/async/)
• Use AltIso.render helper

🎉

Think rewriting with datasources could be done independently of other tasks? I might be able to help out if so. Looking to cut my teeth on some Alt stuff; thinking of switching over to it.

@quicksnap We can't use datasource with the current alt-resolver made for the boilerplate, these tasks need to be done together.

I'll start a new branch with react-router@1.0-beta and try to merge with new IsoRender from Alt, maybe it will work. For now I can't make them work together.

I'm looking at the 'use-alt-for-render' branch. Do you have any idea what's going wrong with the router? It seems you can only switch page once, and then the router stops working.

I tried stripping out some datasources-related stuff but can't get it to work.

I'm looking at https://github.com/goatslacker/iso/tree/master/examples/react-router-flux to see what could be the difference.

I think I found it,

in main.js

Router.run(
  routes,
  Router.HistoryLocation,
  (Handler) => AltIso.render(alt, Handler)
);

Should become:

Iso.bootstrap(function (state, _, container) {
  alt.bootstrap(state);

  Router.run(
    routes, 
    Router.HistoryLocation, 
    (Handler) => {
        var node = React.createElement(Handler);
        React.render(node, container);
  });
});

Although it only works when putting
@AltIso.define(() => UsersStore.fetch()) in comment.

If I add it back, I get the following error (from /alt/utils/Render.js):
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'locked' of undefined

Putting
UsersStore.fetch();
back in componentWillMount() solves the issue.

@jonaswindey I'm waiting for goatslacker/alt#364 to be merged and new Alt released 👍

Right now nested components won't have its datasources resolved, so when App fetches locale which is our root component nothing else will be resolved.

It's not in the scope of Alt anymore, will keep our internal solution.
