This is what confuses me. How would I write a React based component that can manage the retrieving the data it needs and can be easily integrated into other React/Redux based applications.

For example, I wish to write a component that displays the weather for a given date and zip code. I also want to create another component that displays the local events for a given date and zip code.

I want a simple SPA app to include these two components along with a shared chooser component that allows users to select the zip code and date.

Finally, I want to share the weather and event components with other developers so they can incorporate them easily in their own React/Redux based applications.
