React-Interviewfragen 2026: Hooks, Serverkomponenten und Leistung

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

function UserProfile({ userId }: { userId: number }) {
  const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null);

  // Correct: cleanup function + proper dependencies
  useEffect(() => {
    let cancelled = false;  // prevent stale closure

    async function fetchUser() {
      const data = await api.getUser(userId);
      if (!cancelled) setUser(data);  // only update if still mounted
    }

    fetchUser();

    return () => { cancelled = true; };  // cleanup
  }, [userId]);  // dependency array

  // PITFALL 1: missing dependency
  // useEffect(() => { fetchUser(userId); }, []);
  // This won't re-run when userId changes!

  // PITFALL 2: object/array in deps (new reference every render)
  // useEffect(() => { ... }, [options]);  // infinite loop if options = {}
  // Fix: useMemo(() => options, [dep1, dep2])

  // PITFALL 3: no cleanup for subscriptions
  useEffect(() => {
    const sub = websocket.subscribe(userId, setUser);
    return () => sub.unsubscribe();  // ALWAYS cleanup subscriptions!
  }, [userId]);

  return user ? <Profile user={user} /> : <Loading />;
}

// useMemo — memoize expensive computed value
const filteredUsers = useMemo(
  () => users.filter(u => u.active && u.role === selectedRole),
  [users, selectedRole]  // recompute only when these change
);

// useCallback — memoize function reference
const handleDelete = useCallback(
  (userId: number) => {
    setUsers(prev => prev.filter(u => u.id !== userId));
  },
  []  // no deps — stable reference
);

// Use useMemo when:
// - Expensive computation (sorting, filtering large arrays)
// - Object/array passed to children with React.memo
// - Dependency for other hooks

// Use useCallback when:
// - Passing to child component wrapped in React.memo
// - As dependency in useEffect to prevent re-runs

// DON'T overuse — memoization has overhead!
// Bad: const value = useMemo(() => a + b, [a, b]);  // trivial, skip it

// React.memo — prevent re-render if props haven't changed
const ExpensiveList = React.memo(function ExpensiveList({ items, onItemClick }: Props) {
  console.log('ExpensiveList rendered');
  return (
    <ul>
      {items.map(item => (
        <li key={item.id} onClick={() => onItemClick(item.id)}>
          {item.name}
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );
});

// Parent using it correctly
function Parent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  const [items] = useState(bigItemList);

  // useCallback ensures stable reference (required for memo to work)
  const handleClick = useCallback((id: number) => {
    console.log('clicked', id);
  }, []);

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}>Count: {count}</button>
      {/* ExpensiveList won't re-render when count changes */}
      <ExpensiveList items={items} onItemClick={handleClick} />
    </div>
  );
}

// Server Component (default in Next.js App Router)
// - Runs only on server, never on client
// - Can access databases, file system directly
// - Zero JS sent to client (except HTML)
// - Cannot use state, effects, event handlers

async function ProductList() {  // no 'use client'
  const products = await db.products.findMany();  // direct DB access!
  return (
    <ul>
      {products.map(p => <ProductCard key={p.id} product={p} />)}
    </ul>
  );
}

// Client Component (must add 'use client')
// - Runs on both server (initial HTML) and client (hydration)
// - Can use useState, useEffect, event handlers
// - Receives props from Server Components

'use client';
function AddToCart({ productId }: { productId: number }) {
  const [added, setAdded] = useState(false);

  return (
    <button onClick={() => {
      addToCart(productId);
      setAdded(true);
    }}>
      {added ? 'Added!' : 'Add to Cart'}
    </button>
  );
}

// Error Boundary (class component, required for now)
class ErrorBoundary extends React.Component<
  { fallback: React.ReactNode; children: React.ReactNode },
  { hasError: boolean }
> {
  state = { hasError: false };

  static getDerivedStateFromError() {
    return { hasError: true };
  }

  componentDidCatch(error: Error, info: React.ErrorInfo) {
    logErrorToService(error, info);
  }

  render() {
    if (this.state.hasError) return this.props.fallback;
    return this.props.children;
  }
}

// Usage
<ErrorBoundary fallback={<ErrorPage />}>
  <UserProfile />
</ErrorBoundary>

// React 19: useErrorBoundary hook coming (use 'react-error-boundary' lib now)
