Memoization in React.js

Memoization is a technique used to


optimize performance by storing the
results of expensive function calls and
returning the cached result when the same
inputs occur again.
In React, memoization is particularly useful
for preventing unnecessary re-renders of
components.
.
Using Memoization in React
React provides the React.memo higher-order
component, which can be used to memoize
functional components.

import React from 'react';

const ExpensiveComponent = React.memo(({ data })


=> {
// Expensive calculations based on data
// ...
return <div>{/* Render content */}</div>;
});
Memoization with Hooks
React's useMemo hook allows you to memoize
the result of a computation.
Use useMemo to memoize values that are
expensive to compute and don't need to change
on every render.

import React, { useMemo } from 'react';

const Component = ({ items }) => {


const processedData = useMemo(() =>
expensiveDataProcessing(items), [items]);

return <div>{/* Render using processedData */}


</div>;
};
Memoization with Selectors
Selectors can be used to memoize and
efficiently compute derived data from the Redux
store using libraries like reselect.
This is especially useful when dealing with
complex state structures.

import { createSelector } from 'reselect';

const getUsers = (state) => state.users;

const getActiveUsers = createSelector(


[getUsers],
(users) => users.filter((user) =>
user.isActive)
);
Benefits of Memoization

Reduces unnecessary re-computations


and re-renders, leading to improved
performance.
Ideal for optimizing components that
receive the same props and state
frequently.
Enhances the overall user experience
by making the application more
responsive.
Considerations

Use memoization judiciously. Not all


computations need to be memoized.
Balance between performance
optimization and code complexity.
Overusing memoization can lead to
overly complex code.
Profile and measure performance gains
to validate the impact of memoization.
