Solution 4: Compound Components

Use the builder pattern for flexible composition

The Solution

Create a parent component with child components that share internal state:

<CompoundForm>
  <CompoundForm.Header title="Application Form" />
  <CompoundForm.Section title="Personal Info">
    <CompoundForm.Input label="Name" />
    <CompoundForm.Input label="Email" />
  </CompoundForm.Section>
  <CompoundForm.Actions>
    <CompoundForm.SubmitButton />
  </CompoundForm.Actions>
</CompoundForm>
