ReactionBuilder class

ReactionBuilder is useful for triggering reactions via a builder function rather than creating a custom StatefulWidget for handling the same. Without a ReactionBuilder you would normally have to create a StatefulWidget where the initState() would be used to setup the reaction and then dispose it off in the dispose() method.

Although simple, this little helper Widget eliminates the need to create such a widget and handles the lifetime of the reaction correctly. To use it, pass a builder that takes in a BuildContext and prepares the reaction. It should end up returning a ReactionDisposer. This will be disposed when the ReactionBuilder is disposed. The child Widget gets rendered as part of the build process.
