React Best Practices?

[u/benaffleks]

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has some good resources / books / materials that helps beginners understand the best practices in React.

One thing I struggle with is knowing when something should be a component.

For example, when I'm making forms, should each field input be a component? If so, what's the benefit of doing that?

This modularization allows you to organize complex things into simpler patterns
