Question 1/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
What does the Provider component in a Redux application do?
Available answers
The
Provider
component from the react-redux
library makes the Redux store available to the rest of the app. By wrapping the application's component tree, it provides components with the ability to connect to the Redux store.
Question 2/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
What mechanism does Redux use to update its state?
Available answers
Redux alters its global state using reducers, which are pure functions. Upon receiving an action dispatched by action creators, these reducers compute and return a new state based on the previous state and the action.
Question 3/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
Why should keys be unique among siblings in React?
Available answers
Keys are vitally important in React as they help identify which items have changed, are added, or removed among a collection of sibling elements. They must be unique among their siblings but can be duplicated across different sets of sibling elements.
Question 4/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
What are selectors in Redux?
Available answers
Selectors in Redux are functions used to retrieve specific pieces of the state tree or compute derived state based on the Redux store's current state. They allow components to access store data with encapsulated retrieval logic, keeping the component code cleaner.
Question 5/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
Consider the following Redux action. What is its primary purpose?
const fetchData = () => ({ type: 'FETCH_DATA' });
Available answers
In Redux, actions are payloads of information that send data from your application to your store. The action
{ type: 'FETCH_DATA' }
typically represents indicating the initiation of a side effect such as fetching data from an external API.
Question 6/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
What problem does React Context API primarily solve?
Available answers
The React Context API allows you to share values between components without having to explicitly pass props through every level of the tree. This is particularly useful to avoid 'prop drilling' when you have deeply nested components.
Question 7/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
When handling forms in React, why is controlled component considered best practice?
Available answers
Controlled components in React refer to form elements being controlled by React state. This approach ensures that the rendered form is always in sync with the component's state, providing better control over data submission, validation, and component behavior.
Question 8/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
Consider the following use of useEffect. When does the effect run?
useEffect(() => { console.log('Updated!'); }, [count]);
Available answers
The
useEffect
hook takes a dependency array as its second argument. In this case, [count]
means the effect will run every time the count
state changes.
Question 9/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
What is the primary purpose of React's useState hook?
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
Available answers
The
useState
hook in React allows you to add state to functional components. It returns an array with the state value and a function to update it. The code snippet const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
initializes a state variable count
with a value of 0.
Question 10/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
What is React's useEffect hook used for?
Available answers
The
useEffect
hook in React is used for performing side effects in function components, such as data fetching, subscriptions, or manually changing the DOM. It replaces the side-effect features of lifecycle methods in class components.
Question 11/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
What happens if you call setState inside a useEffect hook without specifying a dependency array?
useEffect(() => { setState('value'); });
Available answers
Calling
setState
inside a useEffect
hook without a dependency array is a common pitfall leading to an infinite loop. This happens because each call to setState
causes a re-render, which in turn triggers the useEffect
again immediately.
Question 12/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
What is the common way to improve performance for a component consistently re-rendering due to state changes?
Available answers
To prevent unnecessary re-renders due to the same props and state in a React component, wrapping the component with
React.memo
optimizes performance by memoizing the rendered output unless there are meaningful prop changes.
Question 13/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
What does the useRef hook in React primarily serve?
Available answers
The
useRef
hook in React is used to persist values across renders without triggering a re-render when the value updates. This is particularly useful for accessing DOM elements directly and storing mutable values.
Question 14/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
What's the role of the useContext hook?
Available answers
The
useContext
hook is used to subscribe a function component to a context. It simplifies the retrieval of the current value of a context compared to using a context consumer.
Question 15/15
😊 Your
answer was correct
🙁 Your
answer was incorrect
When using Redux, what does the 'connect' function primarily do?
Available answers
The
connect
function from the React-Redux library is used to connect a React component to the Redux store. It allows you to map state and dispatch actions to props so that the component can subscribe to store updates and send updates.
