React
Hooks
Use Memo Callback

what is the useMemo and useCallback and what is the differece

useMemo and useCallback are both hooks in React used to optimize performance by memoizing values and functions respectively.

useMemo:

  • useMemo is used to memoize the result of a function so that it is only recalculated when its dependencies change.
  • It takes a function and an array of dependencies, and returns the memoized value of that function.
  • Example:
import React, { useMemo } from "react";
 
function MyComponent({ a, b }) {
  const result = useMemo(() => {
    return a + b;
  }, [a, b]);
 
  return <div>{result}</div>;
}

useCallback:

  • useCallback is used to memoize a function so that it is only recreated when its dependencies change.
  • It takes a function and an array of dependencies, and returns a memoized version of that function.
  • Example:
import React, { useCallback } from "react";
 
function MyComponent({ onClick }) {
  const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
    onClick();
  }, [onClick]);
 
  return <button onClick={handleClick}>Click me</button>;
}

Comparison:

  • useMemo is used to memoize values, while useCallback is used to memoize functions.
  • useMemo is useful when you want to memoize the result of a complex computation, while useCallback is useful when you want to memoize a callback function to avoid unnecessary re-renders.
