React Patterns

// ✅ Compiler-friendly - pure function
function UserCard({ user }: { user: User }) {
  const displayName = `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
  const isVIP = user.points > 1000

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>{displayName}</h2>
      {isVIP && <Badge>VIP</Badge>}
    </div>
  )
}

// ❌ Avoid - unnecessary effects
function UserCard({ user }: { user: User }) {
  const [displayName, setDisplayName] = useState('')

  useEffect(() => {
    setDisplayName(`${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`)
  }, [user])

  return <div><h2>{displayName}</h2></div>
}
