How to use useCallback in React

useCallback is a hook in React that allows you to optimize the performance of your components by memoizing functions. It does this by caching the function instance and returning the cached instance instead of creating a new instance of the function if the inputs to the function remain the same.

To use useCallback, you can call the useCallback hook inside your functional component and pass in two arguments: the function that you want to memoize, and an array of dependencies. The hook will then return the memoized function. Here is an example:

import { useCallback } from 'react';

function MyComponent(props) {
  // Define a function that we want to memoize
  const expensiveFunction = useCallback(() => {
    // Do some expensive calculations or operations here
  }, []);

  // Use the memoized function in our component
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={expensiveFunction}>
        Click me to perform the expensive operation!
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

In this example, the expensiveFunction will only be created once when the component is first rendered, and the same instance of the function will be used for subsequent renders. This can help improve the performance of your components by avoiding unnecessary function creation.
