 * instance property other than `this.props` and `this.context`
 * extension of `React.PureComponent` (if the `ignorePureComponents` flag is true)
 * presence of `ref` attribute in JSX
+* the use of decorators
 * `render` method that return anything but JSX: `undefined`, `null`, etc. (only in React <15.0.0, see [shared settings](https://github.com/yannickcr/eslint-plugin-react/blob/master/README.md#configuration) for React version configuration)
 
 If none of these elements are found, the rule will warn you to write this component as a pure function.
