Summary

This PR adds 91 comprehensive React interview questions (Q90-Q180) covering modern React features, hooks, performance optimization, and best practices.

Fixes

Closes #238 - Clarifies the differences between Decorators and Higher-Order Components, plus adds extensive modern React coverage

Changes

Topics Covered:

React Hooks (Q90-Q99):

  • useState vs useReducer
  • useEffect vs useLayoutEffect
  • useContext for context consumption
  • useMemo and useCallback for performance
  • useRef for DOM access and mutable values
  • useImperativeHandle for ref customization
  • Custom Hooks creation and patterns
  • React.memo vs useMemo

Modern React 18 Features (Q100-Q106):

  • React Server Components
  • Concurrent Rendering
  • useTransition for non-urgent updates
  • useDeferredValue for deferred rendering
  • useId for stable IDs
  • useSyncExternalStore for external stores
  • useInsertionEffect for CSS-in-JS
  • Automatic Batching

Component Patterns (Q107-Q120):

  • Suspense for code splitting and data fetching
  • Error Boundaries
  • React.lazy and code splitting
  • Controlled vs Uncontrolled components
  • HOC vs Render Props (addresses issue What is the difference between Decorators and HOCs? #238)
  • forwardRef for ref forwarding
  • Component vs PureComponent
  • createElement vs cloneElement
  • React.Children utilities

Performance Optimization (Q121-Q130):

  • React.memo for component memoization
  • useMemo for value memoization
  • useCallback for function memoization
  • Code splitting strategies
  • Tree shaking
  • Lazy loading
  • When NOT to use memoization
  • Performance bottlenecks

Core Concepts (Q131-Q150):

  • State vs Props
  • Prop drilling and solutions
  • Synthetic events vs native events
  • Event pooling (removed in React 17)
  • JSX vs createElement
  • Virtual DOM and reconciliation
  • Keys and refs
  • Lifting state up
  • Composition vs inheritance
  • Lifecycle methods and Hook equivalents

Context and State Management (Q146-Q148):

  • React Context API
  • Context performance implications
  • Context vs Redux

Routing and Navigation (Q149-Q150):

  • React Router basics
  • BrowserRouter vs HashRouter

Testing and Debugging (Q151, Q175-Q179):

  • React Testing Library best practices
  • React DevTools
  • Profiler API
  • Development vs production builds
  • Debugging techniques

Rendering Strategies (Q157-Q159):

  • Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
  • Static Site Generation (SSG)
  • Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)
  • Hydration process

Styling (Q160-Q162):

  • Different styling approaches
  • CSS-in-JS pros and cons
  • Inline styles vs CSS classes

Advanced Topics (Q163-Q180):

  • Code splitting and tree shaking
  • Shallow vs deep comparison
  • Immutability importance
  • Form handling
  • React vs Vue vs Angular
  • Portals
  • React Fiber architecture
  • StrictMode
  • PropTypes vs TypeScript

Decorators vs HOCs (Q123):

Quality

All 91 questions include:

  • Clear, concise answers
  • Practical explanations
  • Real-world use cases
  • Best practices
  • Common pitfalls
  • Modern React 18+ features
  • Performance considerations

Statistics

  • Lines added: 548
  • New questions: 91 (Q90-Q180)
  • Topics covered: 25+ major React areas
  • React versions: Covers React 16.8+ through React 18

Educational Value

This contribution significantly enhances the repository by:

  • Doubling the number of questions (from 89 to 180)
  • Covering modern React features (Hooks, Concurrent Mode, Server Components)
  • Providing comprehensive performance optimization guidance
  • Explaining component patterns and best practices
  • Addressing the specific issue What is the difference between Decorators and HOCs? #238 about Decorators vs HOCs
  • Including testing and debugging strategies
  • Covering different rendering strategies (SSR, SSG, ISR)

Note: This PR directly addresses issue #238 by clarifying the differences between Decorators and HOCs in Q123, while also providing extensive coverage of modern React development practices.
