A JavaScript library that implements React's mixin strategy for ES6-style classes, allowing mixins to be applied to class prototypes or classes directly, including via decorators. It is explicitly positioned as a migration path for legacy code, since React mixins are deprecated in favor of higher-order components.

Use cases

• add mixins to React ES6 class components
• migrate legacy createClass mixins to ES6 classes
• use PureRenderMixin or react-router Lifecycle mixin with classes
• apply mixins via ES7 decorators
• convert old mixins to UNSAFE_ lifecycle format for React 16.3+

When to choose

• maintaining a legacy React codebase that still relies on mixins
• temporarily bridging createClass-era mixins into ES6 class components
• you specifically need a mixin like PureRenderMixin with class syntax

When to avoid

• starting a new React project - use higher-order components or hooks instead
• using modern React versions where mixins are fully unsupported
• you want long-term maintained tooling - the project itself calls mixins 'basically dead'
