These principles can be applied to any object-oriented programming language, including ReactJS. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the importance of the SOLID Principles in React JS and how they can improve your code. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

For instance, you should NEVER extend another comment class. React is not a "pure" OO library, it is built on principles of functional programming. Inheritance is accomplished via composition, not class extension. SOLID are principles of OO design and not all of them will, nor were meant to, apply and/or be used when using React. **@codelectron** · 4 upvotes > Seeing so many upvotes, I opened the article, but on seeing class components being used, I had to close it. > > Just one question. Why Class components? **@kazimkayhan** · 3 upvotes > The SOLID principles are a set of five design principles for writing clean and understandable code that can be easily extended and modified. The article explains each principle in detail and shows how it can be applied to ReactJS development: > > 1. Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): Components should have only one responsibility, and should not be responsible for multiple tasks. > > 2.
