• instance (component instance) - the component's instance (this)
• nextProps (object) - the next props
• nextState (object) - the next state

  constructor (props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { color: 'blue' }
  }
 
  shouldComponentUpdate (nextProps, nextState) {
    return shallowCompare(this, nextProps, nextState)
  }
 
  render () {
    return (
      <div>{this.state.color}</div>
    )
  }
}
