Higher-order components (HOCs) are a powerful pattern in React that enhance existing components with additional functionality without altering their original structure. They excel at managing cross-cutting concerns, such as authentication and logging, but their usage has shifted as Hooks have gained popularity since their introduction in React 16.8. Nevertheless, HOCs remain relevant, particularly for complex transformations and when working with legacy code. This article contrasts HOCs with Hooks, providing examples of both approaches to encapsulate stateful logic in React components.
Higher-order components (HOCs) provide a reusable way to manage cross-cutting concerns in React applications by wrapping components with additional functionality.
While Hooks have largely replaced HOCs, those patterns still hold unique advantages for complex component transformations and working with legacy code.
