Q1. What is dependency injection?
Ans. 
Dependency injection is a design pattern in which components are given their dependencies rather than creating them internally.
• Dependency injection helps in achieving loose coupling between classes.

• It allows for easier testing by mocking dependencies.

• There are three types of dependency injection: constructor injection, setter injection, and interface injection.

• Example: Instead of a class creating an instance of another...read more

Q7. How to optimize react application?
Ans. 
Optimizing a React application involves code splitting, lazy loading, minimizing bundle size, using memoization, and optimizing render performance.
• Implement code splitting to load only necessary code for each route or component.

• Utilize lazy loading to defer loading of non-essential components until they are needed.

• Minimize bundle size by removing unused code, optimizing images, and using tree shaking.

• Use memoization te...read more
