For a React.js interview at a 3-year experience level, you should focus on the following topics:
1. Core React Concepts
- React Component Lifecycle (class & functional components)
- React Hooks (useState, useEffect, useContext, useMemo, useCallback, useRef, etc.)
- JSX, Virtual DOM, and Reconciliation
- Props vs. State
- Controlled vs. Uncontrolled Components
- Error Boundaries
2. Advanced React
- Higher-Order Components (HOCs)
- Render Props Pattern
- Context API vs. Redux (when to use what)
- React Suspense & Lazy Loading
- Custom Hooks
- React Portals
3. State Management
- Local State (useState, useReducer)
- Global State Management (Redux Toolkit, Context API)
- Apollo Client for GraphQL State Management
4. Performance Optimization
- React.memo, useMemo, useCallback
- Code Splitting & Lazy Loading
- Avoiding unnecessary re-renders
- Profiling React Apps
5. React with TypeScript (if applicable)
- Props & State Types
- Function Components with TypeScript
- Utility Types in React
6. React Testing
- Jest & React Testing Library
- Unit Testing vs. Integration Testing
- Mocking API calls
7. API Handling
- Fetch & Axios
- Handling API Errors & Loading States
- GraphQL with Apollo Client
8. React with Next.js (optional but good to know)
- SSR, SSG, ISR
- API Routes in Next.js
- Image Optimization
9. UI Libraries & Styling
- Styled Components, Emotion
- Tailwind CSS, Material-UI, Ant Design
10. React Interview Questions
-
Theoretical Questions
- Difference between functional and class components?
- How does React handle reconciliation?
- What is the purpose of
useEffect
? - When to use
useMemo
vs.useCallback
? - How does React handle form validation?
-
Coding Challenges
- Implement a custom hook (e.g., useFetch, useDebounce)
- Build a To-Do app with CRUD operations
- Optimize performance in a given React compon
