Boost Your React Performance with useMemo

πŸš€ 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.

πŸ”Ή 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?
βœ… Prevents unnecessary recalculations
βœ… Improves component performance
βœ… Helps in large-scale applications
