Chapter 3

  1. Why is it always a good idea to initialize the state of a component?
    1. Because if the render() method expects state values, you need to make sure they're always there to avoid unexpected rendering behavior.
  2. When should you use properties instead of state?
    1. State should only be used for values that can change. For everything else, properties should be used.
  3. What is a context in React?
    1. Context is used to avoid transient properties. Contexts are used to share common data with a select number of components.
