Study Notes

React Hooks

useReducer hook: used for state management, similar to useState, but for more complex state logic
useMemo hook: used to memoize (cache) computations, so that they are not recalculated unnecessarily
useCallback hook: used to memoize functions, so that they are not recreated unnecessarily

State Management

useReducer vs useState: useReducer is used for more complex state logic, while useState is used for simpler state logic
InitialState object: defines the initial state of the application
reducer function: used to update the state based on actions
dispatch function: used to send actions to the reducer to update the state

React Native Components

Native Components: platform-specific components that are optimized for performance
Core Components: basic building blocks of a React Native application
Android View Component: represents a container in Android
iOS View Component: offers layout and styling functionality
ScrollView component: allows for scrolling of content
TextInput component: allows for user input

Hooks and Performance

useMemo hook: used to avoid costly computations by caching the result
useCallback hook: used to avoid recreating functions unnecessarily
Benefits of using useMemo hook: avoids costly computations, improves performance

Miscellaneous

ReactDOM.createRoot() method: used to create a root element for the React application
Inline styles in React: should be applied using an object with camelCase property names
Accessing an HTML element in React: can be done using document.getElementById() or React's useRef hook
Significance of curly braces in JSX: used to enclose JavaScript expressions
Double curly braces in React: used for styling elements with objects
Fetch API: a modern API for fetching data, offers advantages over other methods
useEffect hook: used to handle side effects, such as data fetching
fetchQuote function: used to fetch data in the DataFetching component
DataFetching component: handles loading state of data using useState and useEffect hooks
