Learning Objective:

Implement shared logic using render props. Learn to reuse component logic using the HOC pattern.

Topics: 

• Render Props
• Higher Order Components

Hands-on:

• Create a Currency Converter component that implements render props to provide the result which is then rendered on the screen
• Build a higher order function that empowers our App component with tools to fetch currency rates after conversion 

Learning Objective:

Learn to render children in a DOM node that is outside of the parent's DOM hierarchy. Understand how event bubbling works with Portals.

Topics:

• Introduction to Portals
• Event bubbling in Portals

Hands-on:

Work with Portals to render a dialog box component in a DOM element other than the root div where the React app is mounted

Learning Objective:

Understand the nuances of data flow in a React application, and the issues with sharing global data using props in a deeply nested application. Learn and understand all about the Context API that lets you share global data without using props. 

Topics: 

• Unidirectional Data Flow
• Challenges with Props
• The Context API

Hands-on:

Instantiate a context, and provider and consumer components to trickle data down to the component hierarchy

Learning Objective: 

Get an introduction to the Hooks API and the motivation behind them. Learn to incorporate stateful properties in a function component using the useState() hook. Learn to ingest data from a Context provider using hooks and to implement the useReducer() hook. Finally, learn to write your own hook. 

Topics:

• Understanding Hooks 
• The useState hook 
• Side effects using the useEffect hook 
• The useContext hook 
• The useReducer hook 
• Writing your own hook 

Hands-on: 

• Build a PowerTags component that can be used to dynamically add/remove tags or keywords
• Use the useEffect function to fetch data from a stock app
• Implement the useContext hook to consume data from a context provider
• Use the useReducer hook to offload state management and define actions and their resulting state changes
• Build a custom hook named ‘useGeoLocation’ which accesses the HTML5 GeoLocation API to continually fetch the latitude and longitude of the user’s location
