Function compound & class compound in react

Function Component in React
A function component is a plain JavaScript function that returns JSX and can use React Hooks like useState and useEffect to manage state and lifecycle. It’s simpler and more efficient than class components.

Compound Component Pattern
The compound component pattern lets multiple related components work together, sharing state via React context instead of passing many props. Example: Tabs with Tab, TabList, and TabPanel. It provides a clean, flexible, and reusable API.

Simple :
“Function components are the modern way of building React components using hooks, and the compound component pattern helps create reusable, flexible UIs by allowing components to communicate implicitly.”

Class components:

“A class component in React is an ES6 class that extends React.Component. It must have a render() method that returns JSX. Unlike function components, class components can manage state using this.state, update it with this.setState(), and use lifecycle methods like componentDidMount and componentWillUnmount. However, in modern React, class components are less common because function components with hooks provide the same features in a simpler way.”
