Gain insights into advanced React patterns with hooks. Learn about optimizing components with hooks over traditional methods like render props or higher-order components for better efficiency.

With the release of hooks, certain React patterns have gone out of style. Hooks are likely the way we’ll be writing React components for the next couple of years, so they are quite important. React patterns can still be used, but in most cases, developers will be better off using hooks. For example, they should choose hooks over render props or higher-order components. There may be specific cases where the aforementioned could still be used, but most of the time, hooks are better. That being said, this course will teach you some of the more advanced React patterns implemented with hooks.

Advanced React Patterns With Hooks

# Sending a Prop

We reach out to the user and let them know that we have implemented a pattern to cater for their specific use case. 

Out of excitement, they get on to implement the change. 

Here’s how. 

Within the user app, they send a `data-index` prop to every `Header` element:

// before 
<Expandable.Header />
// now 
<Expandable.Header data-index={index} />

The `index` is retrieved from the iteration index of `information`. 

In this lesson, we'll learn how a user would use a controlled component from an app!
