What are render props in React?

Can you explain what render props are in React?

Sure! Render props is a pattern in React where a component uses a function as a prop to control what to render.

How does it differ from higher-order components?

Great question! While both patterns allow for code reuse, render props provide more flexibility by allowing you to pass data directly to the rendering function.

Can you give me an example of using render props?

Absolutely! Imagine a component that fetches data and uses a render prop to pass that data to its child component for rendering.

Are there any downsides to using render props?

Yes, one downside is that it can lead to more nested components, which might affect readability and performance.
