Render

Verb · Development

Definitions

  1. To compute and produce a visual output — whether generating HTML/DOM elements from component state in a web framework, rasterizing 3D geometry into pixels in a graphics engine, or converting a template into its final displayable form.

    In plain English: To turn data or code into something visible on screen, like converting a webpage's instructions into the actual page you see.

    Example: "React re-renders the component whenever its props change, diffing the virtual DOM to minimize actual DOM mutations."
