React::NativeLibrary for re-using JS based react components

[barriehadfield]

Not so much an issue as a feature request, but I am looking for a clean natural way of re-using JS based React components alongside ruby based JS components.

In trying to get this to work, I have been using React::NativeLibrary as a base class then importing the JS component but this does not work as React::NativeLibrary expects a JS library not a react component.

The code I would like to write is something along these lines:

class TimeAgo < React::NativeLibrary
# something to import a JS based react component (*react timeago in this example)
end

And then to use this something like:

TimeAgo(date: "Jan 1, 1990") {}

Many thanks!
