Handle more than 200 checkboxes storing them in state

Question

I have a table (parent element) which fetches users and render each row as it\'s own component. Row in a table contains checkbox.

Goal is to be able to use checkbox

Here is an optimized function that will toggle an item without re rendering the entire list and using a list from useState:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

const Parent = () => {
  //list is created and maintained in parent
  const [list, setList] = useState([
    { id: 1, val: true },
    { id: 2, val: true },
  ]);
  //toggle is id to indicate what item to toggle
  const [toggle, setToggle] = useState();
  useEffect(() => {
    if (toggle) {
      //setting toggle will not re render until
      //  function is finished so no infinite loop
      setToggle();
      //here we can toggle the item from the list
      setList(
        list.map(item =>
          item.id === toggle
            ? { ...item, val: !item.val }
            : item
        )
      );
    }
  }, [list, toggle]);
  //combining parent container with parent presentational
  //  for simplicity
  return (
    

      {list.map(item => (
        
      ))}
    
  );
};
const ItemContainer = React.memo(function Item({
  item,
  itemClicked,
}) {
  //toggeling item with id 1 will not log
  //  for item with id 2
  console.log('in item render:', item.id);
  return (
    
 itemClicked(item.id)}>
      {JSON.stringify(item, undefined, 2)}
    
  );
});

export default Parent;

Here is an example of how to do it with useReducer.
