HOC

Summary

Higher-Order Component — a function that takes a component and returns a new, enhanced component — an older pattern for cross-cutting logic like auth checks, now mostly replaced by hooks.

How to Learn This

1Read a classic HOC example, like `withAuth(Component)`.
2Rewrite a simple HOC's logic as a custom hook instead.
3Recognize HOCs when you see them in older codebases or libraries.
