what is a useCallback Hook in React. ?

In React, useCallback is a hook that is used to memoize a function. When a function is memoized, it means that the function is only re-created when its dependencies change, and not on every render.

The syntax for useCallback is as follows:

javascriptCopy codeconst memoizedCallback = useCallback(
  () => {
    // function logic here
  },
  [/* dependencies */],
);

The first argument to useCallback is the function you want to memoize. The second argument is an array of dependencies that the memoized function relies on. If any of the dependencies change, the memoized function will be re-created.

Here is an example of how to use useCallback in a React component:

javascriptCopy codeimport React, { useCallback, useState } from 'react';

function MyComponent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
    setCount((prevCount) => prevCount + 1);
  }, []);

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Count: {count}</p>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Increment Count</button>
    </div>
  );
}

In this example, we define a state variable count using the useState hook. We also define a memoized function handleClick using useCallback. The function increments the count state variable when the button is clicked.

By using useCallback, we ensure that the handleClick the function is only re-created when the count state variable changes, and not on every render. This can help improve performance in components that rely on expensive functions or are re-rendered frequently.
