React Redux Dead Drop - https://medium.com/@erikras/redux-dead-drop-1b9573705bec

deaddrop.jsx

/*
1. User interacts with Sender
2. Sender dispatches an action to modifiy state.deaddropto true or to any value that it wants to pass with the message.
3. Receiver has mapStateToProps with a selector for state.deaddrop, and thus gets rerendered with a new prop.
4. Receiver initiates whatever action is required.
*/
/*
I have used this pattern in my redux-form library to enable the triggering of a form submission via the dispatch of an action. 
This allows the form component to know about how it needs to be submitted and validated, but also allows any actor in the entire application to trigger the submission.
