Dividing Components - Keeping an Overview
Explore how dividing larger React components into smaller, single-purpose components helps improve collaboration, enforces the single responsibility principle, and increases reusability across applications. Understand the benefits of component composition for cleaner, maintainable code and efficient team workflows.
We'll cover the following...
Let’s look at an example of a Header component that includes a logo, navigation, and a search bar. This is a common example that you will regularly come across in web development:
import React from 'react';
require('./style.css');
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

<Header />,
document.getElementById('root')

So what can we do with the above code snippet to make it easier for ourselves? That’s right: we can break up our relatively big component into multiple smaller ones, which each only do one thing.
First, the logo could ...
