How can I implement memoization in React and Vue?

Memoization is a technique to optimize performance by caching results of expensive function calls. In React, you can use the useMemo and useCallback hooks. In Vue, you can use computed properties or the memoize function from libraries like Lodash.

Can you give me an example of using useMemo in React?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import React, { useMemo } from 'react';

const MyComponent = ({ items }) => {
  const expensiveCalculation = (items) => {
    // some expensive calculation
    return items.reduce((acc, item) => acc + item, 0);
  };

  const total = useMemo(() => expensiveCalculation(items), [items]);

  return <div>Total: {total}</div>;
};

This will only recalculate the total when the items array changes.

What about memoization in Vue?

In Vue, you can use computed properties for memoization. Here's an example:

<template>
  <div>Total: {{ total }}</div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  props: ['items'],
  computed: {
    total() {
      return this.items.reduce((acc, item) => acc + item, 0);
    }
  }
};
</script>

The total computed property will cache its result and only recompute when items changes.

Are there any libraries that can help with memoization?

Yes, libraries like Lodash provide a memoize function that can be used in both React and Vue to cache results of functions. This can be particularly useful for expensive calculations.
