Higher Order Components in React-Native
A Higher order component is a component that take a component as a input and returns a new component.
A higher order component is react technique for reuse component logic.
HOCs basically incorporate the don’t-repeat-yourself (DRY) principle of programming, which you’ve most likely come across at some point in your career as a software developer. It is one of the best-known principles of software development, and observing it is very important when building an application or writing code in general.
The most interesting part of using higher-order functions is composition. We can write small functions that handle one piece of logic. Then, we can compose complex functions by using the different small functions we have created. This reduces bugs in our code base and makes our code much easier to read and understand.
import React from 'react';
// Take in a component as argument WrappedComponent
const higherOrderComponent = (WrappedComponent) => {
// And return another component
class HOC extends React.Component {
render() {
return <WrappedComponent />;
}
}
return HOC;
};
