React Anti-Patterns
By :

We explored numerous anti-patterns in the preceding chapters. Recognizing an anti-pattern is the initial step toward rectifying it. Let’s briefly recap what we’ve learned thus far.
Props drilling emerges when a prop traverses through multiple component levels, only to be employed in a deeper-level component, rendering intermediate components unnecessarily privy to this prop. This practice can lead to convoluted and hard-to-maintain code.
Solution: Employing the Context API to create a central store and functions to access this store allows the component tree to access props when needed without prop-drilling.
