`ReactLayersMixin`.

I really like our ReactLayersMixin plugin and we should open source it. It allows us to implement not just the render function, but also the renderLayers function. The render is the same as its always been (describe your structure at any point in time. The renderLayers API allows you to describe your modal layers at any point in time. So that means you can open and close layers as a function of props/state just like your render() function can “react” to props/state.

Assigning to @yungsters who mastered the React/Layers stuff on FB’s stack, but @petehunt also has great experience using and building out layers integration with React. So whoever has time/need.

Yea. We actually codemodded the mixin away just a month ago, and removed the distinction between render and renderLayers—layered components are just regular components now. It is a little awkward without fragments but no big deal.

@mziemer21 the modern solution is something like react-portal.
