React: [Documentation] Examples on PureComponent Vs Component

[lucas-aragno]

In here https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/react-api.html#react.purecomponent I think it would be nice to have some examples comparing PureComponent against Component

[lacker]

Do you think the examples in https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/optimizing-performance.html are good enough? If so perhaps we could just link over there from the reference docs.

[lucas-aragno]

Yes! I wanted to show PureComponents to a co-worker and he found that hard to understand bc they weren't examples on that page and I sent him that same link so I think it would be nice to have a link there from the pure component page

[mmdonaldson]

Is it discouraged to use Pure Component? Because I also agree that the documentation is a little scattered on it

[lacker]

@lucas-aragno OK - want to send a PR just adding a line linking to the examples?

@mmdonaldson It isn't discouraged, no.

[lucas-aragno]

@lacker sure will do

[laumair]

@lacker @lucas-aragno I think an example of the direct comparison should be added as well with the link. Would be helpful.

Cool, let me close this issue & we can continue the discussion on that PR. Thanks!
