## List performance callbacks
|
|
|
|
**Impact: HIGH (Fewer re-renders and faster lists)**
|
|
|
|
When passing callback functions to list items, create a single instance of the
|
|
callback at the root of the list. Items should then call it with a unique
|
|
identifier.
|
|
|
|
**Incorrect (creates a new callback on each render):**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
return (
|
|
<LegendList
|
|
renderItem={({ item }) => {
|
|
// bad: creates a new callback on each render
|
|
const onPress = () => handlePress(item.id)
|
|
return <Item key={item.id} item={item} onPress={onPress} />
|
|
}}
|
|
/>
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Correct (a single function instance passed to each item):**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const onPress = useCallback(() => handlePress(item.id), [handlePress, item.id])
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
<LegendList
|
|
renderItem={({ item }) => (
|
|
<Item key={item.id} item={item} onPress={onPress} />
|
|
)}
|
|
/>
|
|
)
|
|
```
