React useMemo() with Pure Function and Dependency Array

Core mental model of useMemo() 💡 ➡️ It takes a pure function as the first argument and a dependency array as the second. ➡️ That function returns a value, and React reuses the previously cached result on later renders if the dependencies have not changed. ➡️ If the returned value is a primitive, React reuses the same value 🧠 This is commonly useful for expensive calculations. ➡️ If the returned value is an object or array, React reuses the same reference 🧠 This is commonly useful for stabilizing props passed to a memoized component created with React.memo() #javascript #typescript #react #useMemo() #memorization
