ComponentRegistry
Summary
The ComponentRegistry maintains an index of React components registered by Nylas packages. Components can use {InjectedComponent} and {InjectedComponentSet} to dynamically render components registered with the ComponentRegistry.
Instance Methods
register(componentoptions)
Register a new component with the Component Registry. Typically, packages call this method from their main `activate` method to extend the Nylas user interface, and call the corresponding `unregister` method in `deactivate`. This method is chainable.
