🧠 Advanced React.
js Interview Questions for Mid/Senior/Architect Level
🔹 Core Concepts
• Describe the complete lifecycle of a React fiber from creation to commit, including how interrupts
and priorities are handled in concurrent mode.
• How would you implement a custom renderer for React (like React DOM or React Native)? Walk
through the key interfaces and challenges.
🔹 Performance Optimization
• Design a system to identify and fix performance bottlenecks in a large React application. What tools
would you use and how would you prioritize fixes?
• Explain how to implement virtualized rendering for a complex, nested table with resizable columns
and expandable rows while maintaining smooth scrolling.
• How would you architect a React application to minimize JavaScript bundle size while still
maintaining rich functionality? Discuss code splitting, lazy loading, and other strategies.
🔹 State Management
• Compare and contrast the tradeoffs between using Context API, Redux, Zustand, and Jotai for state
management in a large-scale application. When would you choose each?
• Design a state management system that can synchronize state between multiple tabs while handling
conflicts and offline scenarios.
• How would you implement a time-travel debugger similar to Redux DevTools but for a custom state
management solution?
🔹 Advanced Patterns
• Implement a higher-order component that can track component metrics (render time, prop changes,
etc.) and report them to an analytics service without modifying the wrapped component.
• Design a render prop pattern that can handle asynchronous data dependencies with loading states,
error boundaries, and caching.
• Create a custom hook that implements undo/redo functionality with merge capabilities for complex
nested state objects.
