Got tired of all the boilerplate with hooking up Stores/Actions so...
// When I was working on our React/Flummox app I got to the point where, per the docs, I had ~100 lines of code
// which were substantially predictable boilerplate, so I used some JS metaprogramming to condense them by 80%.
// Flummox docs: http://acdlite.github.io/flummox
// I use underscore.js below for utility but you can also just do a for loop.
