Don’t create Intl.DateTimeFormat, Intl.NumberFormat, or
Intl.RelativeTimeFormat inside render or loops. These are expensive to
instantiate. Hoist to module scope when the locale/options are static.
Incorrect (new formatter every render):
function Price({ amount }: { amount: number }) {
const formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
style: 'currency',
currency: 'USD',
})
return <Text>{formatter.format(amount)}</Text>
}Correct (hoisted to module scope):
const currencyFormatter = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
style: 'currency',
currency: 'USD',
})
function Price({ amount }: { amount: number }) {
return <Text>{currencyFormatter.format(amount)}</Text>
}For dynamic locales, memoize:
const dateFormatter = useMemo(
() => new Intl.DateTimeFormat(locale, { dateStyle: 'medium' }),
[locale]
)Common formatters to hoist:
// Module-level formatters
const dateFormatter = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', { dateStyle: 'medium' })
const timeFormatter = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', { timeStyle: 'short' })
const percentFormatter = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', { style: 'percent' })
const relativeFormatter = new Intl.RelativeTimeFormat('en-US', {
numeric: 'auto',
})Creating Intl objects is significantly more expensive than RegExp or plain
objects—each instantiation parses locale data and builds internal lookup tables.
