DRY principles in React/ReactNative

Applying the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle in React can streamline development, enhance code quality, and improve maintainability. Here are three strategies to achieve DRYness:

Component Abstraction: Identify repeating JSX patterns and encapsulate them into reusable components. This not only reduces redundancy but also promotes consistency across your application.

Logic Extraction: Abstract repetitive non-hook logic into utility functions. By centralizing this logic, you prevent duplication and facilitate easier updates and debugging.

— Custom Hooks: For repetitive logic that involves hooks, compose custom hooks. This modular approach encapsulates hook-related behavior, enabling effortless reuse across components without redundancy.

Applying these DRY principles optimizes code and fosters a more maintainable and scalable React codebase. Share your favorite techniques for combating code duplication below!
