Episode notes
React Compiler Optimization
- The React Compiler automatically memoizes components and JSX, improving performance.
- It optimizes rendering logic, eliminating the need for excessive manual memoization.
Context and Prop Drilling
- Context re-renders the entire subtree when values change, causing potential performance issues.
- The React Compiler addresses prop drilling issues but does not fix the context re-rendering problem.
Performance implications of not using React Compiler
- Unnecessary re-renders due to prop changes or function instantiations can impact performance in React applications.
- Using the React Compiler helps optimize these issues, especially in larger and more complex applications.
