Modern React Composition Patterns
Table of Contents
Composition patterns for building flexible, maintainable React components that scale. These patterns replace boolean-prop proliferation, rigid component APIs, and tangled state with composable, explicit designs.
When to Use
Reference these patterns when:
- A component has more than 3-4 boolean props controlling its behavior
- Building reusable UI components or a shared component library
- Refactoring components that are difficult to extend
- Designing component APIs that other teams will consume
- Reviewing component architecture for flexibility and maintainability
