Advanced Component Patterns

React on it’s own has a very small API surface. Most of the magic happens in user-land. It feels like every month, someone from the community finds an innovative way of writing components. This is the best part about React, the creative community.

I’m going to be honest, this stresses me out. I have a constant fear of missing out on the cleanest/prettiest/smartest way of writing React components.

So, I sat and learnt all of them, so that you don’t have to.

7. 7 component patterns
9. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
14. const TextInput = props => { return ( <input className="input" type="text" placeholder={props.placeholder} /> ) } render( <TextInput placeholder="Enter some text" /> )
16. const TextInput = props => { return ( <input className="input" type="text" placeholder={props.placeholder} /> ) } render( <TextInput placeholder="Enter some text" /> )
17. const TextInput = props => { return ( <input className="input" type="text" placeholder={props.placeholder} /> ) } render( <TextInput readOnly placeholder="Enter some text" /> )
18. const TextInput = props => { let classes = 'input' if (props.readOnly) classes += ' readonly' return ( <input className={classes} type="text" placeholder={props.placeholder} /> ) } render( <TextInput readOnly placeholder="Enter some text" /> )
19. const TextInput = props => { let classes = 'input' if (props.readOnly) classes += ' readonly' return ( <input className={classes} type="text" placeholder={props.placeholder} readOnly={props.readOnly} /> ) } render( <TextInput readOnly placeholder="Enter some text" /> )
20. Functional component
21. const TextInput = props => { let classes = 'input' if (props.readOnly) classes += ' readonly' return ( <input className={classes} type="text" placeholder={props.placeholder} readOnly={props.readOnly} /> ) } render( <TextInput readOnly placeholder="Enter some text" /> )
