React Copilot-AI-powered React coding assistant

Example

Improving component structure and optimizing lifecycle methods in a React class component by refactoring it into a modern functional component using hooks.

Scenario

A developer has an older React project written with class components. React Copilot helps refactor these components into functional components by introducing `useState`, `useEffect`, and other hooks. This reduces complexity and improves readability and maintainability.

Example

Diagnosing issues with state updates in a React application where the `useEffect` hook runs in an unintended loop due to improper dependencies.

Scenario

While working on a complex form, the developer faces a problem where the `useEffect` hook is re-running continuously. React Copilot identifies the missing dependency in the dependency array and suggests correcting it to prevent the loop, improving the app’s performance.

Example

Identifying unnecessary re-renders of components in a large React app and recommending the use of `React.memo` or `useCallback` to improve performance.

Scenario

A developer notices performance issues in their React app. React Copilot detects that certain components are re-rendering unnecessarily due to prop changes and suggests wrapping the component in `React.memo` to prevent those redundant renders.
