16:02 #3 Components: when to create them
23:42 #4 Avoid unnecessary markup (div’s)
27:28 #5 IMPORTANT: don’t add layout styles to reusable component
33:30 #6 Use TypeScript (why & where in React)
37:07 #7 IMPORTANT: Keep components simple (children pattern, updater function for useState)
51:32 #8 IMPORTANT: Don’t use setter function from useState, instead create a separate event handler function
55:43 #9 IMPORTANT: Naming props (when prop is a function)
01:02:42 #10 useMemo, useCallback & React.memo() for performance
01:09:12 #11 When to use updater function from useState
01:11:32 #12 Use single state instead of multiple states
01:13:15 #13 IMPORTANT: one source of truth in programming. Keep track of a ‘selected’ or ‘active’ item by its id, NOT its whole object!
01:18:18 #14 IMPORTANT: use the URL for some state (filters, pagination, etc.), not useState
01:21:37 #15 Keep useEffect simple: one concern per useEffect
01:26:18 #16 IMPORTANT: instead of fetching data in useEffect, consider alternatives
01:33:12 #17 IMPORTANT: improve overall structure with components, custom hooks and utility functions
