Howdy people! In this article, we will be discussing the 5 best ReactJs practices that will help you simplify the building of great and high-performance applications. Use Fragment We know React only allows you return one JSX element at a time, To wrap multiple elements we use div that gets added to the Dom which will need some computations so try to use Fragment instead of unnecessary div. const withoutFragment = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Without Fragment</h2>
      <p>Using div as external element</p>
    </div>
  );
};

const withFragment = () => {
  return (
    <React.Fragment>
      <h2>With Fragment</h2>
      <p>Using React Fragment as external element</p>
    </React.Fragment>
  );
}; Break Large components into small components or Reusable components If the component is too large then break down that component and compose small components to one component and reuse them as per requirements. // Component (Before)
const ProfileCard = (props) => {
  return (
    <div className="card">
      <div className="avatar">
        <div className="icon">
          <span>{props.icon}</span>
        </div>
        <div className="name">
          <h2>{props.name}</h2>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div className="stats">
        <div className="followers">
          <span>{props.followers}</span>
          <p> Followers</p>
        </div>
        <div className="blogs">
          <span>{props.blogs}</span>
          <p> Articles</p>
        </div>
        <div className="revenue">
          <span>{props.revenue}</span>
          <p>MRR</p>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

// Small components with composition
const Avatar = ({ icon, name }) => {
  return (
    <div className="avatar">
      <div className="icon">
        <span>{icon}</span>
      </div>
      <div className="name">
        <h2>{name}</h2>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

const Stats = ({ followers, blogs, revenue }) => {
  return (
    <div className="stats">
      <div className="followers">
        <span>{followers}</span>
        <p> Followers</p>
      </div>
      <div className="blogs">
        <span>{blogs}</span>
        <p> Articles</p>
      </div>
      <div className="revenue">
        <span>{revenue}</span>
        <p> MRR</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

// Component with simplify JSX (After)
const ProfileCard = (props) => {
  return (
    <div className="card">
      <Avatar icon={props.icon} name={props.name} />
      <Stats
        followers={props.followers}
        blogs={props.blogs}
        revenue={props.revenue}
      />
    </div>
  );
}; Use TypeChecking Use propTypes or TypeScript for type checking in your application to catch mistakes early and prevent bugs. import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
const TypeChecking = ({ name }) => {
  return <h1>Hello, {name}</h1>;
};
TypeChecking.propTypes = {
  name: PropTypes.string.isRequired
}; Use Functional components React haș introduced hooks, which is great to create a functional component in ReactJs and it lets you manage the state without any complexity. const Counter = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0);
  const handleClick = () => {
    setCount((prevCount) => prevCount + 1);
  };
  React.useEffect(() => {
    // It will be logged  when count value changes
    console.log('Count: ', count);
  }, [count]);
  return (
    <React.Fragment>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Increment</button>
      <h2>{count}</h2>
    </React.Fragment>
  );
}; Use Memoization Try to use React memo to avoid unnecessary re-rendering and boost your application performance. const Child = React.memo(({ name }) => {
  console.log('Child rendering');
  return <p>{name}</p>;
});

const Parent = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0);
  const handleClick = () => {
    setCount((prevCount) => prevCount + 1);
  };
  console.log('Parent rendering');
  return (
    <React.Fragment>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Increment</button>
      <h2>{count}</h2>
      <Child name={'deuex solutions'} />
    </React.Fragment>
  );
}; If you execute the code then you will see the child component gets rendered only once. On the Click of the button, the count will increase and only the parent component will get re-render. increment And that’s it for this topic. Thank you for reading.
