AFAICS this example is using OnsenUI 2.0.4 and Webpack v1.x.x . Can either of these be upgraded and if so how? Especially interested in what happens to Stylus (replaced by Less?) Or is there an up to date example available?

I refactored it to break up the components with the Provider HoC. https://gist.github.com/wordyallen/fbd9e239656cb6232fc3bfbcfb987522#file-stop_watch_component-js

yes that is it

Good article! Just small question: isn’t using “actions: bindActionCreators(Actions, dispatch)” breaks the whole idea of container/component approach? Since you are using connect it actually creates another component for you, which is called a container, but for me it seems that you don’t have the presentational components, cause they are not dumb (meaning they know the logic of your app).
