Optimize React Component Re-renders with Independent State

most React developers re-render their entire component when only one value changed. split your state by what changes together. fields that update independently should live independently. the rule: if two pieces of state never update at the same time they shouldn't share an object. one small decision at the start of a component. massive performance difference at scale. #reactjs #typescript #webdevelopment #buildinpublic #javascript

This is an amazing tip! A complement for cases where the object is large: splitting into many useStates is the right call performance-wise, but leaving all that logic loose in the UI component kills readability fast. Extracting it into a custom hook solves both — the hook acts as a Controller, owning all the state logic, while the component just consumes a clean interface. Internal implementation can change freely without touching the UI. Small architectural decision, big maintainability difference at scale. Fits perfectly with your point.
