The best way to refactor large React component libraries is applying composition patterns like compound components and provider-based state lifting. This decouples internal logic, replaces brittle boolean props with explicit variants, and creates flexible APIs for reusable UI primitives.

React 19 composition patterns replace forwardRef by utilizing the use() hook for context consumption. This modern convention allows you to lift state into providers and compose internals via shared context, moving away from older ref-forwarding approaches.

Yes, you can use composition patterns to scale React components by replacing boolean props with explicit variants like EditMessageComposer. By lifting state into context providers, unrelated UI parts share state seamlessly, resulting in flexible and maintainable component systems.

To design scalable React component systems, wrap your UI with a context provider holding state and actions, then compose your components via exported subcomponents. This provider-based state lifting decouples data handling from UI, preventing boolean prop proliferation.
