Design Patterns in React.js - Best Practices for Scalable Applications
Design patterns were created to standardize solutions to the most common problems encountered by developers in applications of all types. They provide proven and transparent approaches to many important issues in projects. Using them dramatically reduces the number of errors that can occur during application development and makes code easier to read by other colleagues, making work more enjoyable and faster.
