Extending with callbacks


Another method to create more pluggable components is to expose (and act on) event callbacks. We saw something similar already, but let's take a look at this anyway. Suppose we have a PageEditorComponent class, as follows:

                    ref={ref => refs.body = ref} />
                <button onClick={e => this.onSave(e, refs)}>
                    save
                </button>
                <button onClick={e => this.onCancel(e, refs)}>
                    cancel
