Prevent Component/PureComponent with styled-components from re-rendering all items after state change












7















After adding styled-components to this example, we've noticed that our list component updates everything when only one item in state is modified.



The list rendering highlights (from React dev-tools) are excessive when adding/removing a single entry. One item is removed/added, then all items get highlighted.

  • codesandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/wn45qw44z5


Here is an example of the right list component (CategorizedList.js)



import styled from "styled-components";

const Item = styled.li`
color: #444;
`;

class CategorizedList extends PureComponent {
render() {
return (
<div>
{this.props.categories.map(category => (
<ul>
<li key={this.props.catStrings[category]}>
{this.props.catStrings[category]}
</li>
<ul>
{this.props.items.map((item, index) =>
item.category === category ? (
<div key={item.label + index}>
<Item>{item.label}</Item>
</div>
) : null
)}
</ul>
</ul>
))}
</div>
);
}
}


Preference



I'd prefer to use PureComponent so that shouldComponentUpdate() gets handled automatically.



Question



How can we make sure only the modified objects in items state are re-rendered?

  • according to your link doing a check on their props and state is lightning fast compared to the cost of re-rendering each one What kind of performance hit do you expect to take in that list to where you need to take this approach?

If the data changes , the view will re-render. It shouldn't be an expensive process since it happens once on add/remove action. If you find performance issues it might be caused from something else.



In general this would be the way you can have some control on pure-components re-render:
