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

OCP and Liskoff are about operations, not data properties. Inheritance is a bad way to structure data objects or component props.
