π Frontend Tip of the Day: Enhancing Performance with React.memo() π
Did you know you can boost your React app's performance with just a single line of code? Meet React. memo()*! π§ *
What It Does:React.memo()
is a higher-order component that optimizes your functional components by memoizing them. Essentially, it prevents re-renders when the props havenβt changed. This can make a noticeable difference in apps with many components or complex UI.
How to Use It:
Wrap your functional component like this:
const MyComponent = React.memo((props) => {
// Component code will go here
});
π‘ When to Use:
For components that receive the same props frequently.
When a component re-renders unnecessarily due to parent updates.
β οΈ When NOT to Use:
Avoid using React.memo()
on components that need to update frequently or on components with complex props that change frequently. Overuse can lead to unexpected bugs!
Happy coding! π¨βπ»
