OPEN-CLOSED PRINCIPLE IN REACT: BUILDING EXTENSIBLE COMPONENTS

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

In React, the Open-Closed Principle (OCP) means that components should be designed in a way that allows them to be extended with new functionality without modifying their existing code. As an example, the article shows the contrast between a closed, modification-heavy button component with an open, composition-based approach that uses base components and extending variants. There's an alignment between OCP and React's "composition over inheritance" philosophy, where OCP leads to more flexibility.
