Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to compose our reusable components and make them communicate effectively. Props are a way to decouple components from each other and create a clean and well-defined interface.

We saw how React tried to solve the problem of sharing functionalities between components with mixins. Unfortunately, mixins solve those problems by adding several other ones, and they affect the maintainability of our applications. One way to achieve the same goal without adding complexity is by using HoCs, which are functions that take a component and return an enhanced one.
