function Component({ items }) {
const filtered = items.filter(x => x.active);
const sorted = filtered.sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name));
const handleClick = (id) => {
console.log(id);
};
return <List items={sorted} onClick={handleClick} />;
}
// ❌ NEVER: Manual memoization
const filtered = useMemo(() => items.filter(x => x.active), [items]);
const handleClick = useCallback((id) => console.log(id), []);// ✅ ALWAYS: Named imports
import { useState, useEffect, useRef } from "react";
// ❌ NEVER
import React from "react";
import * as React from "react";// ✅ Server Component (default) - no directive
export default async function Page() {
const data = await fetchData();
return <ClientComponent data={data} />;
}
// ✅ Client Component - only when needed
"use client";
export function Interactive() {
const [state, setState] = useState(false);

// Read promises (suspends until resolved)

// Conditional context (not possible with useContext!)

}

return (
<form action={action}>
<button disabled={isPending}>

</button>
</form>
);
}// ✅ React 19: ref is just a prop
function Input({ ref, ...props }) {
return <input ref={ref} {...props} />;
}
// ❌ Old way (unnecessary now)
const Input = forwardRef((props, ref) => <input ref={ref} {...props} />);react, react 19, compiler, useMemo, useCallback, server components, use hook
