Question Title

* 1. When should you use a Render Prop over a Higher-Order Component?

Having a clearer separation between data-layer and view layer.

Keeping your view-layer concise by inserting the data-layer into the view-layer instead of co-locating both layers.

Having access to the local state of the component where the Render Prop is used.

Having a more intuitiv way of using props from the component in the Query and Mutation components.

* 2. When should you use a Higher-Order Component over a Render Prop?

Having a clearer separation between data-layer and view layer.

Keeping your view-layer concise by co-locating both layers instead of inserting the data-layer into the view-layer.

Having access to the local state of the component where the HOC is used a enhancement.

Having a more intuitiv way of using props from the component in the Higher-Order Component.

Question Title

* 3. What’s the best strategy when using render props to avoid deep Query/Mutation component nesting.

Splitting up the component in smaller concise components that are focused on only a few or one querie(s)/mutation(s).

Having a threshold of allowed nested nested Query/Mutation components which should be allowed to be used in one component.

Using Higher-Order Components over Render Props when it would make sense.

Use the Apollo Client instance directly and default to imperative query and mutation calls.

Question Title

* 4. Your opinion matters: None of both solutions is a silver bullet. You should apply each of them where it makes more sense. Nevertheless, I am curious about your preference. What’s your favorite approach to connect view-layer and data-layer?
