Using React compound components, learn how to dynamically switch from a table to grid layout for an interactive interface.

Imagine you must build a user admin dashboard for activating and deactivating users with a simple UI that includes a table and a button to toggle the active status for each user. However, not all users like tables, so what if we allowed users to dynamically switch between a table and grid layout? While this might add additional code to the app, it can also provide user satisfaction, a primary objective of any product.

In this article, we will build a simple LayoutSwitch component by leveraging the React compound components pattern and a pinch of the Context API’s flavor to make our lives easier.

Here is a GIF showing the completed LayoutSwitch component we’ll build by the end of this post.
