Modern UI Architecture Patterns

Introduction

Modern UI architecture patterns provide a structured approach to building scalable and maintainable user interfaces. These patterns help in efficiently managing the complexity of applications by promoting separation of concerns, reusability, and testability.

Common Patterns

• 1. Component-Based Architecture

  Applications are built as a collection of reusable components. Each component encapsulates its own state and behavior.

  
  function Button(props) {
      return <button onClick={props.onClick}>{props.label}</button>;
  }
                          

• 2. Container and Presentational Components

  Separation of concerns where container components manage state and data, while presentational components handle UI rendering.

• 3. Higher-Order Components (HOCs)

  Functions that take a component and return a new component, allowing for code reuse and abstraction.

  
  function withLoading(Component) {
      return function LoadingComponent({ isLoading, ...props }) {
          return isLoading ? <div>Loading...</div> : <Component {...props} />;
      };
  }
                          

• 4. Render Props

  A technique for sharing code between React components using a prop that is a function.

Best Practices

• Keep components small and focused.
• Utilize prop types for component validation.
• Implement lazy loading for large components.
• Use hooks for managing state and side effects.
