探索 React 的 useCallback Hook：深入探討

React applications require peak performance, especially as they grow in size and complexity. In our previous article, we explore useMemo, a key hook for memoizing computed values and avoiding unnecessary recalculations. If you are not familiar with useMemo or looking to refresh your understanding, "Understanding React's useMemo" offers valuable insights to enhance your grasp and optimize application efficiency. Checking out this article can provide a solid foundation and practical tips for improving performance.

In this article, we'll focus on useCallback, a sibling hook to useMemo, and explore how it contributes to optimizing your React components. While useMemo is typically used for memoizing function results, useCallback is designed to memoize entire functions. Let's delve into its functionality and how it differs from useMemo.

What is useCallback?

At its core, useCallback is a React hook that memoizes a function so that the same instance of the function is returned on every render, as long as its dependencies don't change. This can prevent unnecessary function re-creation, which is particularly useful when passing functions as props to child components.

Here’s a basic example:

import React, { useState, useCallback } from 'react';

function Parent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
    console.log("Button clicked!");
  }, []);

  return (
    <div>
      <button onclick="{handleClick}">Click me</button>
      <p>You've clicked {count} times</p>
    </div>
  );
}

In this example, handleClick is memoized. With no dependencies, it won't be re-created unless the component unmounts. Without useCallback, this function would be recreated on every render, even if its logic remains unchanged.

How is useCallback Different from useMemo?

While useCallback memoizes a function, useMemo memoizes the result of a function's execution. So if you're only concerned with avoiding unnecessary calculations or operations, useMemo might be a better fit. However, if you want to avoid passing a new function reference on every render, useCallback is the tool to use.

Use Cases for useCallback

1. Avoiding Unnecessary Re-Rendering of Child Components A common scenario for useCallback is when you pass functions as props to child components. React re-renders child components if any prop changes, including when a new function reference is passed. Using useCallback ensures that the same function instance is passed unless its dependencies change.

import React, { useState, useCallback } from 'react';

function Child({ onClick }) {
  console.log("Child component rendered");
  return <button onclick="{onClick}">Click me</button>;
}

export default function Parent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
    console.log("Button clicked!");
  }, []);

  return (
    <div>
      <child onclick="{handleClick}"></child>
      <button onclick="{()"> setCount(count + 1)}>Increase count</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Here, the handleClick function is memoized, which prevents the Child component from re-rendering unnecessarily when the parent component's state changes. Without useCallback, the Child component would re-render on every change in the parent, as a new function reference would be passed each time.

How is this Different from useMemo?

In a similar scenario, useMemo would be used if the result of some function logic (not the function itself) needed to be passed to the child. For example, memoizing an expensive calculation to avoid recomputing on every render.

1. Handling Event Handlers in Lists When rendering lists of components, useCallback is useful to prevent React from creating new event handlers on every render.

import React, { useState, useCallback } from 'react';

function ListItem({ value, onClick }) {
  return 

onClick(value)}>{value}

; } export default function ItemList() { const [items] = useState([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]); const handleItemClick = useCallback((value) => { console.log("Item clicked:", value); }, []); return (

{items.map(item => ( ))}

); }

In this scenario, useCallback ensures that the handleItemClick function remains the same across renders, preventing unnecessary re-creation of the function for each list item.

How is this Different from useMemo?

If, instead of passing an event handler, we were calculating the result based on the items (e.g., sum of values in the list), useMemo would be a better fit. useMemo is used to memoize a computed value, while useCallback is strictly for functions.

Best Practices for useCallback

1. Only Use It When Necessary One of the biggest pitfalls of useCallback is overusing it. If a function is simple and doesn't depend on external variables, it might not need to be memoized. Using useCallback unnecessarily adds complexity without providing a significant performance benefit.

// Unnecessary use of useCallback
const simpleFunction = useCallback(() => {
  console.log("Simple log");
}, []);

In cases like this, there's no need to memoize the function because there's no dependency or computational overhead.

1. Keep Dependencies Accurate Just like useMemo, useCallback relies on a dependency array to determine when the memoized function should be updated. Always make sure that the dependencies accurately reflect the values used inside the function.

const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
  console.log("Clicked with count:", count);
}, [count]); // `count` is a dependency here

The memoized function will use stale values if necessary dependencies are omitted, leading to potential bugs.

Kesimpulan

Kedua-dua useCallback dan useMemo ialah alat yang tidak ternilai untuk pengoptimuman prestasi dalam React, tetapi ia mempunyai tujuan yang berbeza. Gunakan useMemo apabila anda perlu menghafal hasil pengiraan yang mahal dan gunakan useCallback apabila anda perlu memastikan bahawa rujukan fungsi kekal stabil antara pemaparan. Dengan memahami perbezaan dan kes penggunaan bagi setiap satu, anda boleh mengoptimumkan aplikasi React anda dengan berkesan.
