reactjs - React statics with ES6 classes

Question

Does the statics object work with ES6 classes in React?

class SomeComponent extends React.Component {

  render() {
    // ...
  }

}

React.statics = {
  someMethod: function() {
    //...
  }
};

Something like the above gives me undefined method someMethod when I do SomeComponent.someMethod()

Answer 1

statics only works with React.createClass. Simply declare the method as a static class method:

class SomeComponent extends React.Component {

  static someMethod() {
    //...
  }

  render() {
    // ...
  }

}

Regarding

React.statics = { ... }

You are literally creating a statics property on the React object. That property does not magically extend your component.
