1; How can you implement shared functionality across a component tree?
Shared functionality across a component tree in React can be implemented using the following approaches:
- Context API: Provides a way to share data (like themes or authenticated user details) across components without prop drilling.
- Higher-Order Components (HOCs): Wrapping components to inject shared logic.
- Render Props: Passing functions as props to share functionality across components. (Used in this Assignment)
- Custom Hooks: Encapsulating shared logic that can be reused across multiple components.
2; Why is the useState hook appropriate for handling state in a complex component?
The useState hook is appropriate because:
- It provides a simple and intuitive way to manage state within functional components.
- It supports complex state management by allowing you to store objects, arrays, or primitive values.
- It enables easy updates and re-renders based on state changes, ensuring UI consistency.
- You can manage multiple pieces of state separately, avoiding complex state structures.
