Using Render Props In React

When deciding between hooks, render props and higher-order components, always go with hooks wherever possible.

Render Props is an increasingly popular method of sharing code between react components. They are called Render Props (or render-props) because they allow “sharing code” via a render prop. But for this exercise, we’ll do the same while sharing code with react’s own children prop for aesthetics.

In most cases, applications that I work with just need to request data from the API and display the result. So, using a sophisticated library like Redux, only complicates the code and increases the bundle size without bringing much of a benefit.

Learn how Render Props can help you build a React application

This time I’m going to tell you about this great superpower called “render props”

Using render props in React is a technique for efficiently re-using code. According to the React documentation, "a component with a render prop takes a function that returns a React element and calls it instead of implementing its own render logic."

Headless components are a great new way to separate presentation and control logic. But what if you don't want to pick and place all the render function's props manually?

A detailed introduction to Render Props and Higher-Order Components in React

The concept of children as a function or child as a function, also called render prop in general, is one of the advanced patterns in React.

If what you are trying to achieve is to just pass down some props without dealing with passing it to every component in between, you don’t have to use Redux or Context API.

This talk will explain how context and render props work and give you some ideas of how to use them to simplify your own code.

You can think of them as dependency injection or as inversion of control. The point is that you pass a component into a component and it lets your consumer define how something gets rendered.

How to implement and test an error boundary in React. Error boundaries allow us to catch errors (and display friendly messages to our users) that occur during render in our components. We'll implement the error boundary using render props and see how to suppress an annoying error message during testing.

I have a component that needs to have three visual difference implementations, so I decided to make it a render prop component.

Michael Jackson, creator of the React Router library, gives this talk where he says a component with a render prop or children prop as renderer can do anything an HoC (Higher Order Component) can do, and more.

The goal of this course is to give you the knowledge of advanced patterns you can use to make React components that are more flexible, simpler, and more fun to build, use, and maintain.

In this series, we dive into intermediate React concepts where you'll learn things like, how to use the React Context API, how to make a portal in React, how to use and understand render props as well as animated transitions and interactive animations in React.

With this course, you'll not only learn great patterns you can use, but also the strengths and weaknesses of each so you know which to reach for to provide your components the flexibility and power you need.

In this course, Kent C. Dodds shows how to separate component logic, state and display properties to make your components more flexible and usable across large React applications.

In this episode of React Round Up, the panel discusses the future of higher order components and render props with Paul Gray. They talk about how he got into programming and React, when you would want to use HOCs and render props, and chainable components.

In this episode of React Round Up, the panel discuss breaking up with higher-order components with David Atchley. They talk about what higher-order components and render props are and when you would want to use them to help you in your code. They also touch on overuse and misuse of applications and coding tools and the difference between using render props and HOCs.

In this episode, Adam talks to Kent C. Dodds about building downshift, a React autocomplete component he designed for experiences he needed to build at PayPal. Kent gives a behind-the-scenes look at how the library uses the render prop pattern to allow maximum customizability without complex configuration.
