How to create Props Pr...

To create a Props Proxy for a Higher-Order Component (HOC) in ReactJS, you essentially enhance or modify the props that are passed to the wrapped component. This pattern allows you to intercept and potentially alter the props before they reach the component, or add new props. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to implement this:

Step 1: Define the Higher-Order Component

Create a function that takes a component as its argument. This function will return a new component that wraps the original component.

function withPropsProxy(WrappedComponent) {
    return class extends React.Component {
        render() {
            // Modify or add new props here
            const newProps = {
                ...this.props,
                // Add new props or modify existing ones
                additionalProp: 'New Value'
            };

            // Pass the modified props to the WrappedComponent
            return <WrappedComponent {...newProps} />;
        }
    };
}

Step 2: Use the HOC

You can now use this HOC to wrap any component that you want to enhance with the props proxy functionality.

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return <div>{this.props.additionalProp}</div>;
    }
}

// Wrap MyComponent with the HOC
const EnhancedComponent = withPropsProxy(MyComponent);

Step 3: Render the Enhanced Component

Finally, render the enhanced component. The MyComponent will receive the `additionalPr...
