Class Based Components (CBC)

[Archmonger]

Current Situation

React has the ability to define class based components while we don't. In some situations, components look a lot cleaner when organized in this fashion. Additionally, it allows for developers to use inheritance.

Proposed Actions

See if creating a class based component implementation within IDOM is feasible. If it doesn't significantly improve readability, then there isn't any point.

See this PR for our first-stab at CBC.

• add class based component implementation #518

Closing this as it dirties ReactPy's interface. We should instead focus on a JSX alternative.

Additionally, it appears that ReactJS is steadily gutting all of their class based components, so developing an equivalent seems like a dead-end.
