## What it is
React PowerPlug is a set of tiny, dependency-free renderless React components that provide state and logic utilities via the render props pattern. It lets you plug state containers like Toggle, State, and Value into your dumb/presentational components without writing class components or hooks.

## Use cases
- add state to dumb react components
- manage toggle or checkbox state with render props
- rapid prototyping react ui without class components
- share pagination or tabs logic between components
- avoid redux for simple local component state

## When to choose
- you use render props patterns or older React versions without hooks
- you want a tiny (~3kb), tree-shakeable, dependency-free state utility
- you want plug-and-play state containers for presentational components

## When to avoid
- you are on modern React and prefer built-in hooks like useState
- you need global or complex application state management
- you want a library under active development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: state-management, ui-components
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: react, render-props, renderless-components, dumb-components, state-containers, nodejs, web-server
