These are patterns that the child component would be rendred .

When the parent component is re-rendered, for example when updating the state of itself or so.
When the props of child component are re-rendered.

But actually, it is only needed when props are rendered to re-render the child component. Everything else is unnecessary.

・src/Example.js

mport React, { useState } from "react";
import Child from "./Child";
import "./Example.css";

const Example = () => {
  console.log("Parent render");
  const [countA, setCountA] = useState(0);
  const [countB, setCountB] = useState(0);
  return (
    <div className="parent">
      <div>
        <h3>Parent Component</h3>
        <div>
          <button
            onClick={() => {
              setCountA((pre) => pre + 1);
            }}
          >
            Button A
          </button>
          <span>Update the state of Parent Component</span>
        </div>
        <div>
          <button
            onClick={() => {
              setCountB((pre) => pre + 1);
            }}
          >
            Buton B
          </button>
          <span>Update the state of Child Component</span>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div>
        <p>The count of clicked：{countA}</p>
      </div>
      <Child countB={countB} />
    </div>
  );
};

export default Example;

・src/Child .js

const Child = ({ countB }) => {
  console.log("%cChild render", "color: red;");

  return (
    <div className="child">
      <h2>Child component</h2>
      <span>The count of B button cliked：{countB}</span>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Child;

In this case, when we press the A(Parent component) button, the child component is rendered. Even though it is unnecessary.

・Like this.

・src/Child .js　(using a memo hook)

import { memo } from "react";

function areEqual(prevProps, nextProps) {
  if (prevProps.countB !== nextProps.countB) {
    return false; // re-rendered
  } else {
    return true; // not-re-rendred
  }
}

const ChildMemo = memo(({ countB }) => {
  console.log("%cChild render", "color: red;");

  return (
    <div className="child">
      <h2>Child component</h2>
      <span>The count of B button cliked：{countB}</span>
    </div>
  );
}, areEqual);

export default ChildMemo;

If we use memo, we can avoid unnecessary re-rendering.
