Why Repetitive Code is Problem in React? | Why is my React code running twice?

Introduction
When it comes to building React applications, developers usually encounter a lot of repetitive code because similar components are used repeatedly. The situation becomes worse when your project is not maintained well, and the possible chances of mistakes are higher. This article will discuss very simple and easy ways to stop repetitive code in React.

What is redundant code?
It means writing similar or identical codes on multiple occasions. Most likely, this happens in making UI components that are alike but differ from one another through headings, descriptions, and images alone.

Why Should You Not Repeat Code?
Difficult Maintenance: You have to change everything when you need to make a change in some of them.
Error Prone: More code means more opportunities for mistakes to be made.
Time-Consuming: Repeatedly typing the same things takes time.
Slower: More runtime inefficient code can cause a slow application.
Less Readable: Difficult for newcomers to understand the code base.
