A React library providing a KeepAlive component that preserves component state across unmounts, similar to Vue's keep-alive. It wraps components with a Provider to cache them and avoid repeated re-rendering, independent of React Router.

Use cases

• preserve component state when switching tabs in a React app
• avoid re-rendering expensive components on navigation
• implement Vue-style keep-alive caching in React
• cache form state when users navigate away and back
• keep list scroll position and filters alive across route changes

When to choose

• you need Vue-like keep-alive behavior in React
• you want caching that works without React Router
• you need CSS animations on cached components since it doesn't use display:none

When to avoid

• you're on React 18+ with modern alternatives available
• your components are cheap to re-render and caching adds complexity
• you need actively maintained support for the latest React versions
