Description

It might be a good idea to replace shallowCompare with PureComponent, but will it work with dynamic data?

From React's doc:

If your objects contain complex data structures, it may produce false-negatives for deeper differences. Only extend PureComponent when you expect to have simple props and state.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the current shallowCompare usage and the related component props and state, then determine whether dynamic data makes PureComponent unsuitable. Done would require a clear decision, an agreed implementation scope, and validation of behavior for the relevant data shapes.
