React Internals & Advanced Concepts

Understand React's internals: Fiber architecture, reconciliation algorithm, render phases, commit phases, priority system, event system, hooks implementation, and scheduler.

🧬 1. Fiber Architecture

Ever wonder what's actually happening under React's hood? 🔧 Fiber is the genius reconciliation engine that makes concurrent rendering possible. It breaks rendering into tiny, interruptible chunks so your UI never freezes — even when processing heavy updates. It's basically React's secret superpower!

🔴 Impact: CRITICAL — Understanding Fiber is what separates senior devs from everyone else — it's the foundation of ALL concurrent features! 🧠

📋 In this section: Fiber Nodes • Interruptible Rendering • Priority-Based Updates • Time Slicing

// Fiber is React's internal data structure
// Each component has a Fiber node representing its work
// Fiber enables: Interruptible rendering, Priority-based updates, Time slicing, Concurrent features

function App() {
  return (
    <div style={{ padding: 16 }}>
      <h2>Fiber architecture</h2>
      <ul>
        <li>Interruptible rendering</li>
        <li>Priority-based updates</li>
        <li>Time slicing</li>
        <li>Concurrent features</li>
      </ul>
    </div>
