Shallow Compare
</h1>
<div class="subHeader"></div>
<p><code>shallowCompare</code> is a helper function to achieve the same functionality as <code>PureRenderMixin</code> while using ES6 classes with React.</p>
<p>If your React component&#39;s render function is &quot;pure&quot; (in other words, it renders the same result given the same props and state), you can use this helper function for a performance boost in some cases.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-js" data-lang="js"><span class="kd">var</span> <span class="nx">shallowCompare</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">require</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;react-addons-shallow-compare&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="kr">export</span> <span class="kr">class</span> <span class="nx">SampleComponent</span> <span class="kr">extends</span> <span class="nx">React</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Component</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="nx">shouldComponentUpdate</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nx">nextProps</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nx">nextState</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="nx">shallowCompare</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="k">this</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nx">nextProps</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nx">nextState</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="nx">render</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="nx">div</span> <span class="nx">className</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="k">this</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">props</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">className</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="o">&gt;</span><span class="nx">foo</span><span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="err">/div&gt;;</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p><code>shallowCompare</code> performs a shallow equality check on the current <code>props</code> and <code>nextProps</code> objects as well as the current <code>state</code> and <code>nextState</code> objects.<br>
It does this by iterating on the keys of the objects being compared and returning true when the values of a key in each object are not strictly equal.</p>
<p><code>shallowCompare</code> returns <code>true</code> if the shallow comparison for props or state fails and therefore the component should update.<br>
<code>shallowCompare</code> returns <code>false</code> if the shallow comparison for props and state both pass and therefore the component does not need to update.</p>
