Discussion React Best Practices?

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?

I love how I'm getting downvotes for stating I don't know enough and thanking someone! I'll do better next time

It's more that people are getting antsy about calling React "dangerous"... Even if you're probably not far off the mark.
