Learn useCallback In 8 Minutes

[@nanonkay5669]

useMemo: Returns and stores the calculated value of a function in a variable useCallBack: Returns and stores the actual function itself in a variable

[@GuitarreroDaniel]

Thanks man!

[@h2o313]

good summary. I often found "useCallBack" is handy when you're passing the parent's setState function down to its children.

[@Vishal-ki2df]

Why can't we use useEffect instead of useCallback?

[@vijaykumarreddyalavala3713]

@@Vishal-ki2df Using useEffect you can run a function when a variable changes. But that does not mean that function will not run when the other state variables in your component change. Using useCallback you can make sure that the function runs exactly when you want it to run based on changes in a variable instead of everytime the whole component renders.

[@pawandeore6989]

for someone who is confused the main difference between useMemo and useCallback is usMemo cache values and useCallback caches the function itself

[@pawandeore6989]

@@xlgnepoTechnically, you can achieve a similar effect by using useMemo to memoize a function, but it's not semantically the same as using useCallback. useCallback is specifically designed to memoize functions to ensure stable identities across renders, which is crucial for performance optimizations, especially when passing functions as props to child components. It's more explicit and conveys the intention more clearly. So while useMemo can be used for this purpose, useCallback is the recommended approach for memoizing functions in React components.

I am always impressed how you can explain quite complicated things in a simple way! As always...great job and many thanks!

[@Shoulon]

This is really awesome. I was building a grid that was initially built from a function then would set it to state. But my other components would force it to rebuild everytime. UseCallback fixed this issue!

[@davidserranoii4114]

Just watched your useMemo video and I was really confused between these 2 hooks but this video clears everything... Thanks Kyle : )

[@marcelotorreblanca9276]

I've been having a really bad time looking at the React documention about those hooks. And just when I was wondering about the difference between useMemo and useCallback: Boom!! you read my mind!! Just outstanding explanation!!!

[@rahuldwivedi4758]

Great work. But here’s the issue. The useEffect wouldn’t be called again in your List component as you have mentioned. But whatever inside your return is, will be re-rendered again. Put a console log inside the return block of list component to see. To prevent that you need to wrap the List component with memo, memo(List)

[@stevereid636]

This is awesome. I’ve been wondering about the differences for ages. I feel like Kyle just granted me a super power 😎

[@vinzbrain]

Great video! 2 questions: 1) wouldn't it not make more sense to pass the generated array to List rather than the function that generates them? 2) can useCallback be achieved with useMemo that that wraps a function that returns a function?

[@rajk1623]

I like the second question, I wonder the same.

[@mohmarroun3189]

It would be very helpful if you could make a useMemo() vs useCallback() video demonstrating their practical usage in one sample project.

I have a blog post linked in the description which does a good job of comparing them to each other.

@@WebDevSimplified Yes I have read that. Just wanted to see them being used in a single project.

[@guidoglielmi7992]

lt bugs me that useMemo(()=> ()=> [number, number + 1, number + 2]) would be the same as using useCallback

[@GreatAdib]

it can be used in search feature just use debounce an pass it to useCallback.

[@nishaindesilva3738]

thanks! this solve a major confusion in react. I always wondered why inner functional component resets on parental state update. the answer is useCallback() !

[@prince5922]

6:19 You can pass parameters using useMemo, from react documentation, the following. useCallback(fn, deps) is equivalent to useMemo((yourParameters) => fn, deps).

[@xylvnking]

this one gave me a lot of trouble for some reason despite the other hooks not being too tough. the way i wrapped my brain around it is to remember that useCallback allows us to pass a reference to a function, whereas passing a regular function as a prop causes react to create a new function within the component on each render. useMemo allows us to avoid expensive variable calculations, and useCallback allows us to avoid redundant functions being created in memory. if I'm wrong PLEASE let me know lol

From the docs "useCallback(fn, deps) is equivalent to useMemo(() => fn, deps)", so it is just a shorter way for memorizing functions as I understand it. Anyway, good video!

[@naveedalirehmani4135]

So the main difference between useMemo and useCallBack is that one returns the value of the function and the other returns the actual function, but what if I use useMemo and return a function as the return value. will it work the same or am I missing something here? Like this. const functionWithMemo = useMemo(()=>function(){})

Enjoying your hooks videos. Your video has a function passed into a component. It makes me think I'd really like to see a course or series on solving some of the trickier design problems with React. Specifically, concepts I've caught myself getting tripped up in my thinking with are: How to decide to use props, state or a store/reducer (and when to use context.) Strategies for interacting with APIs. When passing a function to a component makes sense. Testing your components when you're using hooks.

Use case: when you pass the a function, created inside a component, as callback into another component ( results in the use case of referential equality, but might not necessarily be clear to everyone)

[@iamprasad88]

Use callback is equivalent to using useMemo with a function that returns a function that needs to run when component rerenders. It just avoids the need to curry the function yourself.

[@csablons]

I'm not sure using useCallback avoid to redraw the component in this case. What you show is to avoid go back in the useEffect. It's different. If I put a console.log inside the component List return's, I always get the log.

[@rahuljawale4461]

Exactly

[@fat-man-psycho7647]

This comment needs to be up there, The useCallback() here doesn't prevent a re-render of the child component.

[@aryanshmahato]

Desktop in introduction was looking dope! Great video BTW..

[@ahmadbenchakhtir5787]

7:00 I believe we may also need UseCallback if we pass it to a component that holds a lot of nested children inside it, even if the creation process is simple.

Is there any use of useCallback other than passing the memoized function in a dependency array? This is the only example I ever see.

[@ifillup]

Great explanation (again)!

[@DanielShamany]

In my humble opinion, making the comparison between useMemo and useCallback confuses the listener with regards to the concept. By drawing connections to the developer, you won't be teaching the audience to think of concepts so it makes sense to the audience. I love your content thought!

Another thing you would want to use usecall back for is if you are going to debounce something

[@Jaylaud]

So if I want a function to be created once and never changed, I can use useCallback with an empty dependency list? 🤔

[@AriRaouf-kq4le]

The getItems function return an Array Then in listItem you use useState to returns an array also which you used in iseeffect to retrun the getItems function which also return an array So it become double array? How je used map directly to items?

The getItems function gets re-created every time the App component runs but wouldn't the same thing happen with the number state? Or state is only created the first time App runs?

@@Cloud-577 It was on Twitter

[@randompointlessness2766]

is it a good use for useCallback to .sort a list function ?

[@DillionMegida]

Thanks so much for this video. But there's something I find confusing. The List component is also re-rendered when the state changes, which means it is remounted and a new `useEffect` hook redeclared. So how exactly does this new mounted List component keep track of the previous useEffect dependency state?

[@BorisDePooter]

If you want components to only rerender when certain props change you can wrap the export with React.memo(). This makes sure it only rerenders when the props actually change in contrast to the basic functionality that always rerenders all child components when the parent component rerenders. Note that u still need to use a useCalback function when passing a function as a prop since the reference to this function will still change if you are not using a useCallback

[@viratpatil]

So using useCallback with getItems will not stop re-rendering of List Component correct ?
