// ✅ React Compiler handles optimization automatically
function Component({ items }) {
  const filtered = items.filter(x => x.active);

  const handleClick = (id) => {

}
 
// ❌ NEVER: Manual memoization
const filtered = useMemo(() => items.filter(x => x.active), [items]);
const handleClick = useCallback((id) => console.log(id), []);

// ✅ ALWAYS: Named imports
import { useState, useEffect, useRef } from "react";
 
// ❌ NEVER
import React from "react";
import * as React from "react";

// ✅ Server Component (default) - no directive
export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetchData();
  return <ClientComponent data={data} />;
}
 
// ✅ Client Component - only when needed
"use client";

// ✅ React 19: ref is just a prop
function Input({ ref, ...props }) {

// ❌ Old way (unnecessary now)
