Concurrent React - Orkestra Multitasking yang Responsif

December 15, 2025 27 minutes read

Pengantar: Konduktor Orkestra yang Dapat Mengatur Prioritas

Bayangkan Concurrent React sebagai konduktor orkestra yang genius yang tidak hanya dapat mengarahkan semua musisi bermain bersamaan, tapi juga dapat mengatur prioritas - ketika ada solo violin penting (user interaction), konduktor dapat memberikan signal kepada section lain untuk bermain lebih pelan atau bahkan pause sejenak, memastikan solo tersebut terdengar jelas tanpa menghentikan seluruh pertunjukan.

Concurrent React adalah set of features dalam [[React 18]] yang memungkinkan React untuk “interrupt” rendering work, memberikan prioritas kepada urgent updates (seperti user interactions), dan melanjutkan less urgent work di background. Ini memungkinkan applications tetap responsive bahkan saat melakukan heavy computations atau rendering large component trees.

Mengapa Concurrent React Revolutionary?

Responsiveness: User interactions selalu mendapat prioritas tertinggi
Better UX: Smooth animations dan interactions bahkan saat app busy
Progressive Enhancement: Gradual loading dan updates tanpa blocking UI
Automatic Optimization: React secara otomatis mengoptimalkan rendering priorities
Core Concepts: Sistem Prioritas Orkestra

Time Slicing - Pembagian Waktu yang Cerdas

Time slicing seperti konduktor yang membagi waktu antara berbagai section orkestra, memastikan tidak ada yang mendominasi terlalu lama dan semua mendapat kesempatan bermain.

    A[User Interaction] --> B[High Priority Update]
    C[Background Task] --> D[Low Priority Update]
    E[Animation] --> F[Medium Priority Update]
    
    G[React Scheduler] --> H{Priority Check}
    H --> I[Urgent: Execute Immediately]
    H --> J[Normal: Time Slice]
    H --> K[Low: Defer to Idle]
    
    B --> I
    F --> J
    D --> K

    style I fill:#f3e5f5
    style J fill:#e8f5e8
    style K fill:#fff3e0

Diagram ini menunjukkan bagaimana React Scheduler bekerja seperti konduktor yang mengatur prioritas - user interactions mendapat immediate attention, animations mendapat time slices yang konsisten, dan background tasks dijalankan saat ada idle time. Ini memastikan UI tetap responsive tanpa mengorbankan functionality.

Time Slicing Implementation:

                // Concurrent rendering dengan time slicing
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import { startTransition, useTransition, useDeferredValue } from 'react';

function SearchableProductList() {
    const [query, setQuery] = useState('');
    const [products, setProducts] = useState([]);
    const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition();
    
    // Deferred value untuk expensive operations
    const deferredQuery = useDeferredValue(query);
    
    // High priority: User input (immediate)
    const handleInputChange = (e) => {
        setQuery(e.target.value); // Immediate update
        
        // Low priority: Expensive filtering (can be interrupted)
        startTransition(() => {
            const filtered = expensiveFilterProducts(products, e.target.value);
            setFilteredProducts(filtered);
        });
    };
    
    // Background data loading
    useEffect(() => {
        startTransition(() => {
            loadProductsFromAPI().then(setProducts);
        });
    }, []);
    
    return (
        <div>
            {/* High priority UI - always responsive */}
            <input
                value={query}
                onChange={handleInputChange}
                placeholder="Search products..."
                style={{ 
                    opacity: isPending ? 0.7 : 1,
                    transition: 'opacity 0.2s'
                }}
            />
            
            {/* Low priority UI - can be deferred */}
            <ProductGrid 
                products={products}
                query={deferredQuery}
                isPending={isPending}
            />
        </div>
    );
}

// Expensive operation yang dapat di-interrupt
function expensiveFilterProducts(products, query) {
    console.log('Filtering products...', query);
    
    return products.filter(product => {
        // Simulate expensive computation
        for (let i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
            Math.random();
        }
        
        return product.name.toLowerCase().includes(query.toLowerCase()) ||
               product.description.toLowerCase().includes(query.toLowerCase());
    });
}

// Root dengan concurrent features enabled
const container = document.getElementById('root');
const root = createRoot(container); // Enables concurrent features
root.render(<SearchableProductList />);

              

Interruptible Rendering - Orkestra yang Dapat Dipause

Interruptible rendering seperti orkestra yang dapat dipause di tengah lagu untuk memberikan kesempatan kepada soloist penting, kemudian melanjutkan dari titik yang sama.

Concurrent Features: Instrumen Orkestra Modern

useTransition - Conductor’s Baton untuk Priority

useTransition seperti tongkat konduktor yang memberikan signal kapan harus memberikan prioritas kepada section tertentu.

                // Advanced useTransition patterns
function AdvancedSearchInterface() {
    const [query, setQuery] = useState('');
    const [results, setResults] = useState([]);

        // Immediate: Update filter UI (high priority)
        setFilters(newFilters);
        
        // Deferred: Re-search with new filters (low priority)
        startTransition(() => {

        });
    }, [query]);
    
    // Concurrent data prefetching
    const prefetchData = useCallback((category) => {

// Optimized search with concurrent features
async function performSearch(query, filters) {
    // Simulate API call dengan realistic delay
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 300));

useDeferredValue - Delayed Gratification untuk Performance

useDeferredValue seperti section orkestra yang bermain dengan delay untuk menciptakan efek echo yang indah tanpa mengganggu melodi utama.

    // Linear regression untuk trend calculation
    const n = history.length;
    const sumX = history.reduce((sum, _, i) => sum + i, 0);

Best Practices: Mengarahkan Orkestra dengan Mahir

Concurrent Patterns

                // 1. Proper transition usage
function OptimalTransitionUsage() {
    const [query, setQuery] = useState('');
    const [results, setResults] = useState([]);
    const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition();
    
    const handleSearch = useCallback((newQuery) => {
        // Immediate: User input feedback
        setQuery(newQuery);
        
        // Deferred: Expensive operations
        startTransition(() => {
            searchDatabase(newQuery).then(setResults);
        });
    }, []);
    
    return (
        <div>
            <input 
                value={query}
                onChange={(e) => handleSearch(e.target.value)}
                style={{ opacity: isPending ? 0.7 : 1 }}
            />
            <SearchResults results={results} />
        </div>
    );
}

// 2. Effective deferred values
function OptimalDeferredUsage({ data }) {
    const [filter, setFilter] = useState('');
    const deferredFilter = useDeferredValue(filter);
    
    // Expensive computation only runs with deferred value
    const filteredData = useMemo(() => {
        return data.filter(item => 
            item.name.toLowerCase().includes(deferredFilter.toLowerCase())
        );
    }, [data, deferredFilter]);
    
    return (
        <div>
            <input 
                value={filter}
                onChange={(e) => setFilter(e.target.value)}
                placeholder="Filter..."
            />
            <DataList 
                data={filteredData}
                isStale={filter !== deferredFilter}
            />
        </div>
    );
}

// 3. Concurrent-safe state management
function ConcurrentSafeComponent() {
    const [state, setState] = useState({ count: 0, data: [] });
    
    // Use functional updates untuk concurrent safety
    const incrementCount = useCallback(() => {
        setState(prev => ({ ...prev, count: prev.count + 1 }));
    }, []);
    
    const updateData = useCallback((newData) => {
        startTransition(() => {
            setState(prev => ({ ...prev, data: newData }));
        });
    }, []);
    
    return (
        <div>
            <button onClick={incrementCount}>
                Count: {state.count}
            </button>
            <DataProcessor 
                data={state.data}
                onDataUpdate={updateData}
            />
        </div>
    );
}

Refleksi: Masa Depan Orkestra Digital

Concurrent React telah merevolusi cara applications handle complex user interactions, dari “single-threaded orchestra” menjadi “multi-priority symphony” yang dapat mengatur berbagai tasks dengan intelligent prioritization. Seperti konduktor modern yang menggunakan teknologi untuk mengkoordinasikan orkestra global, Concurrent React memungkinkan developers untuk membangun applications yang truly responsive dan user-centric.

Masa depan Concurrent React terletak pada intelligent automation - AI-powered priority detection, automatic performance optimization, dan predictive resource management. Dengan [[Machine Learning]] dan advanced profiling, React akan semakin pintar dalam memahami user behavior patterns dan mengoptimalkan rendering strategies secara otomatis.

Investasi dalam memahami Concurrent React adalah investasi dalam future of user experience - seperti memiliki orkestra yang perfectly synchronized, Concurrent React memungkinkan applications untuk deliver smooth, responsive, dan delightful experiences yang membuat users merasa bahwa technology benar-benar bekerja untuk mereka, bukan sebaliknya.

Catatan ini menggambarkan Concurrent React sebagai konduktor orkestra yang dapat mengatur prioritas dan multitasking, dengan analogi musik yang memudahkan pemahaman tentang time slicing, interruptible rendering, dan advanced patterns dalam modern React development.
