What are the goals of Concurrent Mode?
The main goals of Concurrent Mode are:
-
Interruptible Rendering
React can pause rendering work and switch to a more urgent task — like responding to a user typing or clicking. -
Better User Experience
Complex screens and heavy updates don't block the UI. Users see immediate feedback for their actions. -
Smooth Visual Updates
React can keep updating the screen in small pieces, rather than waiting for one big, expensive operation to finish. -
New Capabilities
Features like Suspense for Data Fetching, Transitions, and Selective Hydration become possible because of Concurrent Mode. -
Fine-grained Control Over Priorities
Developers can mark some updates as "urgent" (like typing) and others as "low-priority" (like background data loading).
In essence:
Concurrent Mode’s goal is to help React apps stay responsive and gracefully handle complex operations.
