React's component-based architecture encourages developers to adopt various patterns for building scalable and maintainable applications. Here are some widely used patterns:

1. Componentization 📦

Breaking UI into reusable components is foundational. For example:

  • Functional components with hooks
  • Class components (legacy)
  • Custom hooks for shared logic

2. State Management 🧠

Effective state handling ensures predictable UI behavior:

  • Local state with useState
  • Global state with Context API
  • State management libraries like Redux or MobX

3. Higher-Order Components (HOCs) 🧩

Reusability through function composition:

  • Wrapping components for shared props
  • Enhancing components with additional functionality

📌 Explore HOCs in depth

4. Render Props 🎨

Passing rendering logic as a prop:

  • Customizing component output
  • Sharing data between components

5. Context API 🌐

Prop drilling alternative for global state:

  • Creating context providers
  • Consuming context in nested components

6. Custom Hooks 🛠

Encapsulating reusable logic:

  • UseReducer for complex state
  • useEffect for side effects
  • useFetch for API calls
