Avoid these 4 useState()
Mistakes in React
1. Overusing useState
While useState is a powerful tool, overusing it
can lead to a cluttered and difficult-to-
maintain codebase.
Try to group related state variables into a single
state object instead of having multiple useState
calls.
Avoid this
Do this
2. Failing to optimize re-renders
When a state variable is updated, React will re-
render the component and its children.
This can lead to performance issues if not
managed properly.
Consider using memoization techniques like
React.memo or useMemo to optimize re-
renders.

Do this
3. Ignoring the initial state
The initial state passed to useState is only used
on the first render.
Subsequent updates will use the new state
value.
Make sure to provide a meaningful initial state.

4. Mixing state management strategies
Avoid mixing useState with other state
management libraries like Redux or MobX.
This can lead to confusion and make the
codebase harder to maintain.
Choose a single state management strategy
and stick to it.
Avoid this
Do this
Save this for later.
