How you use decorators in React?

You can decorate your class components, which is the same as passing the component into a function. Decorators are flexible and readable way of modifying component functionality.

@setTitle('Profile')
class Profile extends React.Component {
//....
}
/*
title is a string that will be set as a document title
WrappedComponent is what our decorator will receive when
put directly above a component class as seen in the example above
*/
const setTitle = (title) => (WrappedComponent) => {
return class extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
document.title = title;
}
render() {
return <WrappedComponent {...this.props} />;
}
};
};

Note: Decorators are a feature that didn't make it into ES7, but are currently a stage 2 proposal.
