Implement support for Inferno.memo ( React.memo )

[Havunen]

Implement support for React.memo

Consider drop support for functional component hooks onComponent -API becomes useless after implementing this.

great to learn Inferno is going to support it, could you share an estimated date if possible?

Why will be all onComponent -API s becomes useless? React.memo replaces onComponentShouldUpdate but not the other hooks!?!

[Havunen]

@chrkulbe Nothing is decided, there was discussion in Slack about dropping them. I recently did trial with this and we could maybe just add this functionality without any breaking changes

Maybe an inferno supported library for this? Keep the core light.

Hey @Havunen are there any updates on this?

[Havunen]

No, I have not had time to work on this. I personally have no need for this functionality so its pretty low on my todo list. Would you like to work on this? As suggested by @tamb it would make sense to have this as separate opt-in module.

Yeah, I can give it a go! Would like to use inferno on a project but we use MUI, so memo support is necessary (according to #1510) I wont have time to grab this until early next week

Thanks

@PorterK FYI: Our implementation in Preact might be of interested as a starting point:

https://github.com/preactjs/preact/blob/8825bf1ca2e4b5957556d9c6d385feceeffc242f/compat/src/memo.js#L11-L34

[Havunen]

Hmm, we could try out if Preact approach works for us? In infernojs we can add SCU hook on functional component too using onComponentShouldUpdate that might be good fit for this feature
