useEffect vs useLayoutEffect Explained | forwardRef Full Guide | React Hooks Deep Dive | Day 31

Welcome to MERN Stack Live Training – Day 31!
Today’s session focuses on two of the most misunderstood React concepts—
useEffect vs useLayoutEffect and forwardRef.

These are high-level interview topics, specially asked for 5–10 YOE React roles.

🔥 Today's Deep Dive: useEffect vs useLayoutEffect + forwardRef

You will learn:

⭐ useEffect
Runs after render (paint ke baad)
Non-blocking
Best for API calls, timers, subscriptions
⭐ useLayoutEffect
Runs before paint (DOM mutate hone ke turant baad)
Blocking
Best for DOM measurements, layout adjustments, scroll handling

⭐ BIG Difference (Interview Level)
useEffect → "Async-ish", after browser paint
useLayoutEffect → "Sync with DOM", before paint
Why useLayoutEffect can cause performance issues

Which hook React recommends more?

🔥 forwardRef Deep Explanation

You will learn:

✔ What is forwardRef and why do we need it?
✔ How to pass ref from parent → child
✔ How child DOM becomes accessible outside
✔ Creating reusable Input, Modal, Custom Components
✔ forwardRef + useImperativeHandle (bonus preview)
✔ Practical interview-level examples
🎯 What We Will Build Today

✔ Custom reusable Input using forwardRef
✔ Auto-focus component using forwarded ref
✔ Scroll-to-element component
✔ DOM measurement using useLayoutEffect
✔ Animation correction with useLayoutEffect
✔ Mini project → Smooth scrolling container
