Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to effectively compose and communicate between our reusable components using props. By using props, we can create well-defined interfaces and decouple our components from each other.
We also explored two popular composition patterns: the container and presentational pattern, which help us separate our logic and presentation for more specialized and focused components. Additionally, we discovered Higher-Order Components (HOCs) as a way to handle context without tightly coupling our components to it, and the Function as Child pattern for composing components dynamically.
In the next chapter, we will dive into controlled vs. uncontrolled components, refs, handling events, and animations in React.
