I have a React component called StatusBadge
that I’m using in a large DataTable. This component accepts a status prop and updates its background color based on the value of status using useState and useEffect. Here is a simplified version of the component:
import { FC, useEffect, useState } from "react";
const StatusBadge:FC = ({ status }) => {
const [BackgroundColor, setBackgroundColor] = useState("bg-white");
useEffect(() => {
switch (status) {
case IN_PROGRESS:
setBackgroundColor("bg-yellow-500");
break;
case VALIDATED:
setBackgroundColor("bg-lime-500");
break;
case TO_REVIEW:
setBackgroundColor("bg-orange-500");
}
}, [status]);
return (
<div
className={BackgroundColor}
>
{status}
</div>
);
};
export default StatusBadge;
I am concerned about the performance implications when rendering a large number of these badges in a DataTable. Specifically:
How often will this component re-render? Given that the status prop may change, I’m worried about unnecessary re-renders impacting performance.
Is using useState and useEffect a good approach here? Would there be a more efficient way to handle this component, especially to minimize re-renders? Should I consider a different pattern or optimization technique for better performance?
Any advice or best practices on optimizing this component would be greatly appreciated!
