Filled with useful React patterns that you can use in your projects straight away, this book will help you save time and build better web applications with ease. React 17 Design Patterns and Best Practices is a hands-on guide for those who want to take their coding skills to a new level. You’ll spend most of your time working your way through the principles of writing maintainable and clean code, but you’ll also gain a deeper insight into the inner workings of React. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll learn how to build components that are reusable across the application, how to structure applications, and create forms that actually work.
