💡 What

This change refactors the CircularProgressBar to a functional component and applies two key performance optimizations:

  1. React.memo: Prevents the component from re-rendering if its props have not changed.
  2. useMemo: Caches expensive geometric calculations, avoiding redundant computations during the animation loop.

🎯 Why

The original class-based component re-calculated its SVG properties on every animation frame, which was inefficient. This optimization ensures that these calculations only run when the component's size or stroke width changes, reducing the overall workload and making the animation smoother.

📊 Impact

  • Reduces Re-renders: React.memo prevents unnecessary re-renders, improving performance in complex UIs.
  • Fewer Calculations: useMemo significantly cuts down on redundant computations within the component's render cycle.

🔬 Measurement

To verify the improvement, one could use React Developer Tools to profile the component. Before the change, the component would re-render and its internal calculations would re-run frequently. After the change, it will only re-render when its props change, and the memoized calculations will only re-run if size or strokeWidth props are updated.

Wrapped the StarRating functional component in React.memo to prevent unnecessary re-renders.

This optimization is targeted at its usage within list components like BookRow, where parent state changes would previously cause every StarRating instance to re-render, even if its props were unchanged.

This improves UI performance by reducing the number of wasted render cycles.

⚡ Bolt: Memoize StarRating component to prevent re-renders
Refactored the `CircularProgressBar` from a class-based component to a functional component to leverage React hooks for performance optimization.

- Wrapped the component in `React.memo` to prevent unnecessary re-renders when its props are unchanged.
- Used the `useMemo` hook to cache expensive geometric calculations (`center`, `radius`, `circumference`), preventing them from being re-computed on every animation frame.

These changes reduce the component's render-cycle workload, making it more efficient, especially in high-frequency update scenarios.
