Boost Your React Performance with useMemo

šŸš€ Boost Your React Performance with useMemo!

We all know that React can re-render components unnecessarily, which can degrade performance. One way to optimize this is by using useMemo to memoize expensive calculations.

šŸ”¹ Why useMemo?
useMemo helps by caching the result of expensive functions, so they are recalculated only when necessary.

Example: Efficiently Calculating the Sum of an Array:

import { useMemo } from "react";

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

const sum = useMemo(() => {
  console.log("Calculating sum...");
  return numbers.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
}, [numbers]);

console.log(sum); // The sum is calculated only when numbers change!

Why use useMemo?
āœ… Prevents unnecessary recalculations
āœ… Improves component performance
āœ… Helps in large-scale applications
