[Suggestion]: Code example for StopWatch in "Referencing Values with Refs"

Summary

In the code sample of StopWatch, the DOM's re-rendering only depends on secondsPassed. now and startTime are just used for calculation. If they are treated as state, then very change on them will cause the re-rendering. Am I right?

Details

My suggestion is:

• define now and startTime as ref
• define secondPassed as state

import { useState, useRef } from "react";

export default function Stopwatch() {
  const startTime = useRef(null);
  const now = useRef(null);
  const [secondPassed, setSecondPassed] = useState(0);
  const intervalRef = useRef(null);

  function handleStart() {
    startTime.current = Date.now();
    now.current = Date.now();

    clearInterval(intervalRef.current);
    intervalRef.current = setInterval(() => {
      now.current = Date.now();

      if (startTime != null && now != null) {
        setSecondPassed((now.current - startTime.current) / 1000);
      }
    }, 10);
  }

  function handleStop() {
    clearInterval(intervalRef.current);
  }

  return (
    <>
      <h1>Hi, Time passed: {secondPassed.toFixed(3)}</h1>
      <button onClick={handleStart}>Start</button>
      <button onClick={handleStop}>Stop</button>
    </>
  );
}

開啟 issue 中連結的 Referencing Values with Refs 頁面，並檢視 StopWatch 範例。將它對 now、startTime 和 secondsPassed 的處理方式與建議的 ref/state 拆分進行比較，然後在適當時更新範例。完成的標準是頁面中的程式碼清楚地展示哪些值會觸發重新渲染，以及哪些值儲存在 refs 中。
