What problem does it solve?
It helps you reuse shared component behavior (like loading states, auth checks, or styling) without duplicating the same logic across many components.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Logic reuse across components: Wrap multiple components with a single function that injects enhanced behavior consistently.
- Prop-driven composition: Pass URLs, flags, or other inputs into the HOC so the wrapped component receives only what it needs.
- Composability guidance: Understand how stacking HOCs works and why wrapper order can change the resulting props and rendering behavior.
- When to choose HOCs vs hooks: Use HOCs for uncustomized behavior shared widely, and prefer hooks when customization or clarity matters more than shared wrapping.
