If you're using Typescript that can get a bit annoying, since you'll also need to pass in whatever props necessary for the function to handle the logic + type them. Makes it nice and easy to test in isolation though.

Typically the function has access to whatever props or state it needs because it's in the scope of the component. It's not pure, but it's rare that I need to verbosely pass props into the function call and then accept them in myFunction. I don't typically test these functions in isolation as the component itself is pure and I test the output of the component as a whole instead.
Oh gotcha, I thought this was a function that was defined outside of the component.
