Overview of this book

para 1: Dive into the world of React and create powerful applications with responsive and streamlined UIs! With React best practices for both Android and iOS, this book demonstrates React and React Native in action, helping you to create intuitive and engaging applications. Para 2: React and React Native allow you to build desktop, mobile and native applications for all major platforms. Combined with Flux and Relay, you?ll be able to create powerful and feature-complete applications from just one code base. Para 3: Discover how to build desktop and mobile applications using Facebook?s innovative UI libraries. You?ll also learn how to craft composable UIs using React, and then apply these concepts to building Native UIs using React Native. Finally, find out how you can create React applications which run on all major platforms, and leverage Relay for feature-complete and data-driven applications. Para 4: What?s Inside ? Craft composable UIs using React & build Native UIs using React Native ? Create React applications for major platforms ? Access APIs ? Leverage Relay for data-driven web & native mobile applications

Optimize rendering efficiency


The next lifecycle method you're going to learn about is used to implement heuristics that improve component rendering performance. You'll see that if the state of a component hasn't changed, then there's no need to render. Then, you'll implement a component that uses specific metadata from the API to determine whether or not the component needs to be re-rendered.

To render or not to render

The shouldComponentUpdate() lifecycle method is used to determine whether or not the component will render itself when asked to. For example, if this method were implemented, and returned false, the entire lifecycle of the component is short-circuited, and no render happens. This can be an important check to have in place if the component is rendering a lot of data and is re-rendered frequently. The trick is knowing whether or not the component state has changed.

This is the beauty of immutable data—we can easily check if it has changed. This is especially true if we're using...
