I think the closest thing right now are "Hooks". In theory they are "just functions". In practice they are functions that follow some rules and that you put in a component. React just knows when to call them.
The second closest I guess is "High Order Components". That is a component that controls another component.

Thank you Heiker, I have a feeling I need to write a hook but would you mind taking a look at my library and giving your opinion?
npmjs.com/package/reactive-css-pro...
Sounds like I need to wrap the library in a hook then publish that with a react- prefix
Yes. I think hooks are a good fit for this.
