What are some examples of closures in React?

Closures in React are functions that capture the lexical scope. For example, when you define a function inside a component, it can access the component's state and props.

Can you give me a specific example?

Sure! Consider a counter component where you have a function to increment the count. This function can access the current count due to closure.

How does this help with performance?

Using closures can help avoid unnecessary re-renders by keeping the state encapsulated within the function, leading to better performance.

Are there any common pitfalls with closures in React?

Yes, one common pitfall is creating closures in loops, which can lead to unexpected behavior if not handled properly.
