Exploring reusable renderless components
The first use case for renderless components involves creating components that solely focus on the logic of the component. These components are not your typical ones, such as buttons or text inputs. Instead, think of components with slightly complex logic, such as carousels, tabs, or drop-down menus. Although the logic of a carousel component is relatively standard, its appearance can vary significantly based on where and how it is used.
So, how can we create a reusable carousel component that can look different based on where it is used?
One solution is to create a carousel component that only contains the carousel logic, without any specific styling or HTML structure. Then, the consumer of the component can decide how the carousel should look by passing in their own styling and HTML structure. This allows for greater flexibility and customization, making the component more versatile and reusable in different contexts.
