Building Better Components

2024-03-18

Creating reusable and maintainable React components is crucial for building scalable applications.

Best Practices

1. Single Responsibility

Each component should do one thing and do it well.

2. Props Interface

Design clear and intuitive props interfaces:

  • Use descriptive prop names
  • Provide default values when appropriate
  • Document your props

3. Composition

Favor composition over inheritance to build complex UIs.

4. Performance

Consider performance implications:

  • Use React.memo when appropriate
  • Optimize re-renders
  • Lazy load when possible
