The Evolution of React Reusability Patterns - From Composition to Custom Hooks

React reusability evolved through four major patterns—Component Composition for UI reuse, Higher Order Components for logic reuse via wrapping, Render Props for logic reuse via functions, and Custom Hooks as the current recommended solution. Each pattern emerged to address the limitations of its predecessor, such as HOCs introducing wrapper hell and prop collisions. The recommended modern approach combines Custom Hooks for logic reuse with Composition for UI reuse.
