useDeferredValue Hook in React!

Ever noticed UI lag when typing in a search bar that filters a large list? πŸ€” That’s because every keystroke triggers expensive computations.

With useDeferredValue, React prioritizes user interactions while delaying non-critical updates. This keeps the UI smooth and responsive!

Image description

✨ Example Use Case:
Imagine a search bar filtering a huge dataset. Instead of blocking the UI with every keystroke, useDeferredValue ensures the input remains fast while the list updates with a slight delay.

πŸ”Ή Without useDeferredValue β†’ Laggy UI πŸ˜“
πŸ”Ή With useDeferredValue β†’ Smooth experience ⚑

Try it out and feel the difference! πŸš€
