React design patterns provide software engineers with two key advantages. First, they offer a convenient way of addressing software development problems with tried-and-tested solutions. And second, they greatly ease the creation of highly coherent modules with less coupling. In this article, I detail the most crucial React-specific design patterns and best practices, and examine the usefulness of general design patterns for different use cases in React.

Common React Design Patterns

Though general design patterns can be used in React, React developers have the most to gain from React-specific design patterns. Let’s examine the essentials: higher-order components, providers, compound components, and hooks.

Higher-order Components (HOC)

Through props, higher-order components (HOC) provide reusable logic to components. When we need an existing component functionality with a new UI, we use a HOC.

We combine a component with a HOC to get the desired result: a component with additional functionality as
