Decorate class method passed to child component

[cpprookie]

Thanks for your wonderful plugin.

After reading readMe, I wonder how to decorate class methods passed to childComponent as event handler with params.

For example. I get class component Wrapper

class Wrapper extends Component  {
    state: {
        tabIndex: 0,
         buttons: [1,2,3],
     }
    switchTab(index) {
        this.setState({ tabIndex: index })
    }
    render() {
       return <Tabs clickHandler={this.swtichTab.bind(this)} } />
    }
}

And it contains several buttons

({ buttons, switchTab}) => (
    <div>
        buttons.map((b, index) => <button onclick={() => { switchTab(index) }}>{b}</button>)
    </div>
)

Is there a way to track index param for decorated switchTab param?

You should be able to just decorate switchTab, you will have access to the args that the switchTab function is called with, or you can use the state arg. This is explained here in the README.

The signature when decorating (synchronous) class methods is:

@track((props, state, args) => {})

Returning an object will dispatch a tracking event.

For example (using the arg passed into switchTab):

@track() // this is necessary so decorating class method works
class Wrapper extends Component  {
    state: {
        tabIndex: 0,
         buttons: [1,2,3],
     }

    @track((props, state, [index]) => ({ event: 'tab-switch', index }))
    switchTab(index) {
        this.setState({ tabIndex: index })
    }
    render() {
       return <Tabs clickHandler={this.swtichTab.bind(this)} } />
    }
}

@tizmagik thanks for your clear answer :)
I should read more carefully for the example in readme! And I will recommend this module to my teammate after personal use.
By the way, I think examples in the sandbox should show this case to make users clear at first glance. Or create example files in module directory is much better? I could offer a pr if you think it is helpful.

Thanks @cpprookie -- yes a PR would be greatly appreciated. I plan on creating some kind of "common patterns" doc for more detailed examples, as you suggested, so you can link your PR to this issue: #86

Cheers!

Ok. I will do some work on this weekend.
