Software And Architecture

The Need  In case of using props in a hierarchy of components, we need to move the data throughout the hierarchy from the leaf node to the root node in order to communicate the data / handlers to the siblings This leaves us with the following 1. The parent components, does not need to know the child component's data but it still gets them inorder to uplift the state 2. Components gets polluted with the props of unused data / handlers 3. Chances are high that after development, in the maintenance phase, these methods might be overwritten or consumed in the wrong component if the maintainer does not have a good understanding and is on a hurry to resolve an issue 4. Data communication is highly linked between unrelated components Illustration The below diagram will illustrate the problem where each components uplifts the state in order to the siblings to get the update or data from their siblings. This causes the root component (<App />) to be fully aware of what is going on in
