Panel: Charles Max WoodNader DabitKent C DoddsCory House In this episode of React Round Up, the panel discusses advanced component patterns and Downshift. They talk about different component patterns, especially render prop patters, and the fact that Downshift allows for your components to be much more useful generally for more people. They also note that the render prop patterns can help to separate logic from view, which makes things easier to develop. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: Component patternsDownshiftEgghead courseWhat makes it advanced?Requires taking a step back and think about your components a little differentlyIs there a React Native version?ReactRender prop patternsCode abstraction or code re-useWhy Downshift is powerfulCan use regular HTML and CSS with DownshiftAllows you to be in charge of renderingWhat other places is the render prop pattern useful?What is the benefit of using a react component over a JS component?Awesome React Render Props GitHub RepoDownshift is highly accessiblejQuery UI@MarcySuttonRender props reduce the amount of opinion that component hasChoosing render props gives the consumer more power as well as more responsibilityRender props are best used with open source projectsAnd much, much more!
