## What it is
A free online reference cataloging common React component patterns such as stateless functions, render props, higher-order components, and state hoisting, with short code examples for each. It is a static documentation site (reactpatterns.com) rather than a library or tool.

## Use cases
- learn common react component patterns
- how to write a higher-order component in react
- examples of render props and function as children
- understand conditional rendering patterns in jsx
- reference for container vs layout components
- how to hoist state in react components

## When to choose
- you want a quick, example-driven reference to classic React component patterns
- you are learning React and want concise pattern explanations with code snippets
- you maintain or review legacy React codebases using HOCs and render props

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date guidance for modern React (hooks-era patterns are largely absent and the site has not been updated since 2022)
- you want an installable library or tool rather than documentation
- you need officially maintained or community-current best practices

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: frontend, web-development, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react, react-patterns, react-native, component-design, jsx, best-practices, guide, web-server
