React - Updating useState as a Multidimensional array.
Hi, I am looking at the performance consequences of managing a state via a Multidimensional array.
Currently, I am representing a 15x15 grid as a multidimensional array, each cell (gridName[row][col]) contains five "key:value" pair pieces of data about that particular cell. When a user clicks a cell, it calls the useState function to update the contents of the key:value pair for that cell, and depending on the update, it may also update another cell; this updates are then used to change the visual data within the cell. This is done by returning a new version of the array. This is my first react project, so I am wondering what the performance impact of this may be, as I can't seem to find a better way to do it, and in the dev console, each update is around 4ms. Also note, that the grid size will always be 15x15, so larger grids aren't an issue.

A friendly place for developers to meet other devs, ask questions, get help, and just have a good time 🙂.
