Building Polymorphic Components
Master the advanced polymorphic 'as' pattern that lets a single component render as different elements while preserving its styling and behavior.
One Component, Many Elements
Sometimes a button should render as a real <button>, sometimes as an <a> link, sometimes as a router link - but always look identical.
Polymorphic components solve this elegantly. This lesson covers the advanced as pattern.
The Problem With Duplicates
Without polymorphism you end up with Button, LinkButton, ButtonLink - near-identical copies that drift apart over time.
Each must be styled, tested, and maintained separately. Polymorphism collapses them into one source of truth.
