Understanding Idiomatic React – Joe Savona, Mofei Zhang, React Advanced 2023
Discover how React Forget, a compiler that automatically memoizes React components and hooks, can transform complex code into concise and clear code, improving performance and efficiency.
- React Forget is a compiler that automatically memoizes React components and hooks, reducing the need for manual memoization.
- The compiler uses fine-grained understanding of JavaScript and React to determine what to memoize, making it efficient and effective.
- Forget was first used on Instagram.com and has since been rolled out on several other Meta products, including Quest Store.
- The compiler has transformed complex code into concise and clear code, making it easier for developers to work with.
- Forget has improved the performance of React applications, reducing re-rendering and memory allocation, and improving overall efficiency.
- The compiler can handle almost all JavaScript syntax, including if-else statements, loops, and conditionals, and does not require manual memoization decisions.
- Forget has been tested with a large number of components and has shown significant performance improvements, with some components re-rendering less than 1% of the original amount.
- The compiler has also helped to reduce the complexity of code, making it easier for developers to maintain and update applications.
- Forget is a tool that assists developers in writing high-performance React code, without requiring them to be experts in programming language theory or compiler design.
- The compiler has been shown to improve the performance of React applications, and can be used to achieve fast rendering speeds and reduce memory allocation.
- Forget is a low-level compiler for React, not a tool that requires manual configuration or knowledge of React internals.
