EventEmitter and Subscriber ES6 Syntax with React Native

Question

I am trying to implement an EventEmitter/Subscriber relationship between two components in a react native class. I have seen referenced the following materials:

I was able to get a workaround with react-mixin. Not sure how proper it is, but it works without any modification. The key is adding reactMixin(DetailView.prototype, Subscribable.Mixin); after the class definition.

Going off the example that is floating around for EventEmitter and Subscribable:

'use strict';

var reactMixin = require('react-mixin');
var React = require('react-native');
var EventEmitter = require('EventEmitter');
var Subscribable = require('Subscribable');

var {
    AppRegistry,
    StyleSheet,
    Text,
    View,
    NavigatorIOS
} = React;

class MainView extends Component {
    constructor(props){
      super(props);
      this.EventEmitter = new EventEmitter();
    }

    somethingHappenedFunction(){
      this.EventEmitter.emit("update_event", { message: "hello from up here"});
    }

    //rest of the class
}

class DetailView extends Component {
   componentDidMount(){
     this.addListenerOn(this.props.events, 'update_event', this.miscFunction);
   }

   miscFunction(args) {
    console.log("message: %s", args.message);
   }

   //rest of the class
}
reactMixin(DetailView.prototype, Subscribable.Mixin);
