| 8 | ## Extract to Memoized Components |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Extract expensive work into memoized components to enable early returns before computation. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | **Incorrect (computes avatar even when loading):** |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ```tsx |
| 15 | function Profile({ user, loading }: Props) { |
| 16 | const avatar = useMemo(() => { |
| 17 | const id = computeAvatarId(user) |
| 18 | return <Avatar id={id} /> |
| 19 | }, [user]) |
| 20 | |
| 21 | if (loading) return <Skeleton /> |
| 22 | return <div>{avatar}</div> |
| 23 | } |
| 24 | ``` |
| 25 | |
| 26 | **Correct (skips computation when loading):** |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ```tsx |
| 29 | const UserAvatar = memo(function UserAvatar({ user }: { user: User }) { |
| 30 | const id = useMemo(() => computeAvatarId(user), [user]) |
| 31 | return <Avatar id={id} /> |
| 32 | }) |
| 33 | |
| 34 | function Profile({ user, loading }: Props) { |
| 35 | if (loading) return <Skeleton /> |
| 36 | return ( |
| 37 | <div> |
| 38 | <UserAvatar user={user} /> |
| 39 | </div> |
| 40 | ) |
| 41 | } |
| 42 | ``` |

| 44 | **Note:** If your project has [React Compiler](https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler) enabled, manual memoization with `memo()` and `useMemo()` is not necessary. The compiler automatically optimizes re-renders. |
