Derive State When Possible

This lesson focuses on optimizing React state management for better performance and code organization.

• Deriving State: Learn how to calculate and derive state values directly within your component instead of storing redundant data, leading to more efficient and maintainable code.

• Avoiding Unnecessary Re-renders: Understand the impact of state changes on component re-renders and discover techniques to minimize them, such as using useMemo for expensive calculations.

• Improving Code Clarity: Explore how to simplify your state logic and reduce complexity by deriving state and avoiding unnecessary useEffect calls.
