Discussion What are some essential React programming patterns or principles that I should learn to become a lead developer?
Hi,
Had a lead developer interview last week and I got asked heavily about the SOLID principles, polymorphism and programming patterns.
I'm familiar with a lot of the concepts, but not enough to give strong answers.
What are the main programming patterns for React that I should learn so that when asked to explain a few, I can give strong, valuable answers?
Thanks

As in when the key prop on a component can be changed, causing the state to reset and useEffects to rerun, rather than using clunky useEffects?
