Default Context

[Peter Steinberg]

Currently, the use of withState requires a store to be connected to the component hierarchy with connect. When a stateful component is rendered and no store was set in the context, an error is thrown.

At the least, the error message in this situation could be improved, I think. Currently, this gets written to the console:

The above error occurred in the <_class> component:
    in _class
    in Unknown (created by Context.Consumer)
    in Unknown (created by ComponentWithState)
    in ComponentWithState (at main.js:24)
    in div (at main.js:23)
    in App (at main.js:69)

Consider adding an error boundary to your tree to customize error handling behavior.

Suggestion

This could be improved, by fleux catching this case and printing are more helpful error message.

A second improvement in that regard would be, to make a default store available to all stateful components. This would also simplify the library usage even further, since a call to connect would no longer be necessary (though still possible and potentially useful).
