proper code structure when defining a React component

gistfile1.coffee

  MyComponent = React.createClass
    # give your component a DisplayName that is equal to it's file name.
    # it is helpful so you dont just see <<anonymous>> when react prints
    # warnings in the console or <Undefined> in the react inspector.
    displayName: 'MyComponent'

    # propTypes should be the second thing, after your DisplayName
    propTypes:

    # then put the rest of the react specific properties, in this order
    # ommiting any that you do not have.
    mixins: [...]

    statics:

    getDefaultProps:
    getInitialState:
    shouldComponentUpdate:

    # then put whichever lifecycle methods you have, in this order:
    componentWillMount:
    componentDidMount:
    componentWillRecieveProps:
    componentWillUpdate:
    componentDidUpdate:
    componentWillUnmount:


    # after all React specific methods, put your custom stuff eg:
    someCustomFuctionForThisComponent:

    # the very last thing should be the render method:
    render:

Very nice!
