HEADLESS COMPONENT: A PATTERN FOR COMPOSING REACT UIS

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The Headless Component pattern separates UI presentation from logic and state management. This article demonstrates how to implement a dropdown component using this pattern. It uses a custom hook called useDropdown that centralizes state and logic management, resulting in a cleaner and more maintainable component. This pattern allows developers to better handle a multitude of requirements, such as accessibility, keyboard navigation, async data loading, UI variations, and feature extensions.
