Render Props are Not Dead

Erik Rasmussen at ReactEurope 2020

React has a long and storied past of abstracting away state management. First it was mixins, then HOCs killed mixins, then render props killed HOCs, and now hooks have killed render props. Or have they? There is still some value that render props can provide that hooks cannot. This talk explores that use case so that you can learn to recognize the scenario and deploy render props intelligently.
