Modern React applications benefit from a small set of patterns that keep complexity visible and components focused.
Prefer composition
Build features from small pieces that can be composed instead of large components controlled by many boolean props.
Keep state close to where it changes
Local state is often easier to reason about. Lift it only when another part of the application genuinely needs the same source of truth.
Measure before optimizing
Use real performance signals before introducing memoization or more complex rendering strategies.
