How do you memoize a component?

There are memoize libraries available which can be used on function components.

For example moize library can memoize the component in another component.

import moize from "moize";
import Component from "./components/Component"; // this module exports a non-memoized component

const MemoizedFoo = moize.react(Component);

const Consumer = () => {
  <div>
    {"I will memoize the following entry:"}
    <MemoizedFoo />
  </div>;
};

Update: Since React v16.6.0, we have a React.memo. It provides a higher order component which memoizes component unless the props change. To use it, simply wrap the component using React.memo before you use it.

const MemoComponent = React.memo(function MemoComponent(props) {
  /* render using props */
});
OR;
export default React.memo(MyFunctionComponent);
