One really useful pattern is React higher-order components, eg. https://github.com/elierotenberg/react-nexus#componentgetnex...

The pattern is

  function decorate(params) {
    return (Component) => class extends React.Component {
      ... // some code using params
      render() {
        return <Component {...this.props} />
      }
    };
  }

I haven't seen that usage for higher-order components before. This is the pattern I've been following:

    function decorate (Component) {
      let HigherOrderComponent = React.createClass({
        render () {
          return <Component {...this.props} />
        }
      })
      
      return HigherOrderComponent
    }

They are the same I think, only one has extra parameters. At least in Python, @fn(...args) evaluates the function first and uses the result as a decorator. The guy who wrote the blog post you mention actually uses the parent's pattern in react-dnd.
