ReactJS | Higher-Order Components

Hello React Friends,

In this article, we will go through the ReactJS HOC concept, why to use them, and how to use them in ReactJS with an example.

So let’s get started with ReactJS Higher-Order Components.

What are Higher-Order Components or HOC in React? 

Higher-order components or HOC is the advanced method of reusing the component functionality logic in the project. It simply takes the original component and returns the enhanced component. HOC uses the DRY (don’t-repeat-yourself) programming principle, which is very important while building an application or writing code.

Reason to use Higher-Order Components in React:

• Easy to handle
• Get rid of copying the same logic in every component
• Makes code optimized and more readable

Syntax of Higher-Order Components in React:

const EnhancedComponent = higherOrderComponent(OriginalComponent);

Example of Higher-Order Components in React:

import React, { useState } from 'react'
const HOC = (OriginalComponent)=>{
    function NewComponent () {
        const [Value, setValue] = useState(0)
        const handleClick = () =>{
            console.log(2)
            setValue(Value + 2)
        }
        return <OriginalComponent handleClick={handleClick} Value={Value} />
    }
    return NewComponent
}
export default HOC
import React, { useState } from 'react'
import HOC from './HOC'
const Person1 = ({Value, handleClick}) => {
    return (
        <>
            <div>Person1: {Value}</div>
            <button onClick={()=> handleClick()}> Count number </button>
        </>
   )
}
export default HOC(Person1)
import React from 'react'
import HOC from './HOC'
const Person2 = ({handleClick, Value}) => {
    return (
        <>
            <div>Person2 : {Value}</div>
            <button onClick={()=> handleClick()}> Count number </button>
        </>
    )
}
export default HOC(Person2)
