Possible to use transitionTo() outside of the mixin in 0.8.0?

For starters amazing library and my thanks goes out to you and all the other contributors. My application uses Fluxxor and there are actions that get dispatched which make async calls see here for details to the server.

Depending on the http status code returned I may need to transition to an error page:

var errorCallback = function (payload, response) {
    this.dispatch(constants.AJAX_WAITING, false);

    switch(response.status) {
        case 400:
            var errors = response.responseJSON;
            this.dispatch(constants.COLLECTION_ERROR, errors);
            break;
        case 403:
            Router.transitionTo(constants.FORBIDDEN);
        case 500:
            Router.transitionTo(constants.SERVER_ERROR);
            break;
    }
};

After reading the 0.8.0 docs I'm not seeing how I can initiate transitions like in 0.7.0 because I have to use the Transitions mixin. Am I missing something in the docs, should I re-structure my application, or perhaps this is a valid use case that needs to be re-evaluated?

Weird, I replied to this an hour ago but its gone ... well, here goes again :)

We can't have singletons anywhere anymore for server-side rendering. All of these transitions and links and such need to be tied to a context. You have three options:

1. Pass your component into the action payload, call transitionTo on that.

2. Fire a server action with an error payload in errorCallback, have the component subscribe to that store, and then call transitionTo in the component.

3. Export your rendered routes component instance for other modules to require, and then they can call transitionTo on it.

   var appRouter = Router.renderComponent(<Routes>...</Routes>, el);
   module.exports = appRouter;
   // in another module
   var appRouter = require('../appRouter');
   appRouter.transitionTo()

I'll implement one of your solutions. Thank you for the quick response!

I like #2 in a flux environment
