In which scenario would using a Portal be more beneficial than a traditional React component rendering approach?

  • When you need to enforce strict hierarchical rendering within a component tree.
  • When you need to render a UI element in a different DOM position than its parent while maintaining event relationships.
  • When you want to handle asynchronous data fetching in a React application.
  • When you want to simplify your component tree by reducing the depth of nested components.
Portals are beneficial when you need to render a UI element outside its parent's DOM hierarchy while preserving parent-child event relationships. This is especially useful for modals, tooltips, and popovers. Portals do not primarily aim to simplify the component tree or handle data fetching asynchronously. They are not related to enforcing hierarchical rendering.
