When working with React, you'll often hear about libraries and plugins. While they may seem similar, they serve different purposes and function in unique ways. Let's demystify these terms.

React Library

A React Library is a collection of reusable code that provides specific functionalities or utilities. You have to manually integrate it into your project and configure it according to your needs. A library could include various components, hooks, or utilities, but it won't necessarily solve a business problem out-of-the-box.

React Plugin

A React Plugin goes beyond that. It's a packaged solution aimed at addressing specific business requirements. Think of it as a library but with an added layer of business logic, ready-made state management, or other functionalities that you can plug directly into your application.
