A quick question here. I know about HOC but i am struggling to make sense of the parameter. What is { children: React.ReactNode } part of the parameter?

That's actually Typescript code. For some reason, the online editor I am using to test my code was throwing an error because I didn't specify the children type, so I had to add it (probably Typescript was included in the dependencies). That code translates to: the children of this HOC should be of type React.ReactNode. If you don't work with TS, you can skip that code all together.

Thanks. I am already overwhelmed by the amount of material i have to learn. I don't want to add TS to the list.

If you will ever want to learn TS, I would advise you to learn it separately from React, otherwise it will be very overwhelming, as you said. I had to learn them at the same time for work and sometimes I couldn't tell which one is a React feature and which one is TS. Good luck!
