ReactJs component template

React.createClass({
//inheritance and used 'variables'
        propTypes: {},
        mixins : [],
//lifecycle, occur before an instance of the component is created
        getInitialState: function() {},
        getDefaultProps: function() {},
//lifecycle, occur during the mounting/updating/mounted cycle

        componentWillMount : function() {},
        componentWillReceiveProps: function() {},
        componentWillUnmount : function() {},
//handy to have your custom methods separate and named differently
        _myCustomParseData : function() {},
        _onSelect : function() {},
//min lifecycle method
        render : function() {}
    })
