A higher-order component (HOC) is an advanced technique in React for reusing component logic. HOCs are not part of the React API, per se. They are a pattern that emerges from React's compositional nature.
Concretely, a higher-order component is a function that takes a component and returns a new component.
const EnhancedComponent = higherOrderComponent(WrappedComponent);
Whereas a component transforms props into UI, a higher-order component transforms a component into another component.

HOCs basically incorporate the don't-repeat-yourself (DRY) principle of programming, which you've most likely come across at some point in your career as a software developer.
