title: React Native : Is it possible (/how) to pass props to a class of static functions?
body: <p>Normally when passing props, one would do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var MyClass = require('./MyClass.js');
  &lt;MyClass Prop1={prop1} Prop2={prop2} /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>These are then available in the <code>this.props</code> scope of the child component.</p>
  
  <p>If I have a helper class that just has static functions in it. How would I pass props into the class? The declaration is simply</p>
  
  <pre><code>var MyHelperClass = require('./MyHelperClass.js');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The contents would be similar to</p>
  
  <pre><code>var MyHelperClass = React.createClass({
    getInitialState: function(){
     return null;
    },
    statics: {
      functionOne: function(string){
        var returnObject = {};
        // do something with this.props..
        return returnObject;
      },
    },
  
    render: function() {}
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For now I've created an initalise function that I call in componentDidMount that passes all of my data and function references down into the HelperClass but I'm curious.</p>
