## What it is
Recompose is a utility belt of helper functions for React function components and higher-order components, often described as lodash for React. It provides helpers like withState and withReducer for state management and component composition, but is now deprecated in favor of React Hooks.

## Use cases
- compose higher-order components in react
- add state to react function components
- manage component state with reducers
- write reusable react component enhancers
- refactor react class components to functions

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy React codebase already using Recompose
- working on a project stuck on pre-Hooks React versions

## When to avoid
- starting a new React project - use built-in Hooks instead
- expecting new features or active maintenance
- modern React 16.8+ applications

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: state-management, ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: react, higher-order-components, functional-programming, hooks-alternative, deprecated, nodejs
