//! Example: Memoization
//! --------------------
//!
//! This example showcases how memoization works in Dioxus.
//!
//! Memoization is the process in which Dioxus skips diffing child components if their props don't change.
//! In React, components are never memoized unless wrapped in `memo` or configured with `shouldComponentUpdate`.
//!
//! Due to the safety guarantees of Rust, we can automatically memoize components in some circumstances. Whenever a
//! component's properties are valid for the `'static` lifetime, Dioxus will automatically compare the props before
//! diffing the component. If the props don't change (according to PartialEq), the component will not be re-rendered.
//!
//! However, if the props use some generics or borrow from their parent, then Dioxus can't safely supress updates,
//! and is forced to render the child. If you think that this behavior is wrong for your usecase, you can implement
//! the memo method yourself, but beware, doing so is UNSAFE and may cause issues if you do it wrong.
//!
//! If you want to gain that little bit extra performance, consider using global state management, signals, or
//! memoized collections like im-rc which are designed for this use case.
use dioxus::prelude::*;
// By default, components with no props are always memoized.
// A props of () is considered empty.
pub static Example: FC<()> = |cx, props| {
cx.render(rsx! {
div { "100% memoized!" }
})
};
// These props do not borrow any content, and therefore can be safely memoized.
// However, the parent *must* create a new string on every render.
// Notice how these props implement PartialEq - this is required for 'static props

}

// These props do not borrow any content, and therefore can be safely memoized.
// In contrast with the `String` example, these props use `Rc<str>` which operates similar to strings in JavaScript.
// These strings cannot be modified, but may be cheaply shared in many places without issue.
