Containers vs Presentational Components in React

Containers

  • High level components that should be connected to Redux store.
  • Provides the data and behavior to presentational or other container components.
  • Usually stateful

Presentational Component

  • These components receive data and callbacks via props.
  • Gets data from Redux store as second hand
  • Mostly concerned with visuals rather than connecting data
