Beginner React.js Coding Interview (ft. Clément Mihailescu)

As much as most of this makes sense to me as a Junior Webdeveloper, I find it stunning that people can write code from the get go just thinking through the application and using knowledge they've gathered over the years.

You've said it all!

[@Knigh7z]

33:06 - you'd wrap fetchNextUser in a useCallback if you wanted to satisfy the linter and pass fetchNextUser to the dependency array. This is because the function is re-allocated on render because it's within render scope, and therefore the function reference changes between renders, causing your useEffect to every time (based on shallow comparison of the dep array), so useCallback avoids that and keeps the reference the same between renders.

[@ypeelsleepy]

the ref almost hurt my feelings :D

[@sjadev]

This way of interviewing seems way more relative than just doing algorithms, I wish companies would adopt this.

[@danielcastillo7133]

[@beaubreau]

I would leave the interview. If I were applying for a font end position and they started asking my questions beyond the scope of the position I would tell them to have a wonderful day. That is if that is only their concern. If they started out with relative questions and then lead into it just to see the scope of everything I knew... then that would be fine. But I feel most front end specific job interviews do focus more on this style of interviewing. I mean they need to know you can do the front end stuff. Would be funny to hire someone that has mastered sorting algos but then couldn't center a div.

Clément's confidence started to increase once he figured out that the bug was from line 31 instead of 32.

[@ShaloopShaloop]

useCallback instead of useRef - it memoizes the fetch function for ref equality, so the effect doesnt rerun on every render. UseCallback will mean that if you eventually do a refactor so the function *does* depend on some value inside the component, your compiler will yell at you until you include it as a dependency. Useref might solve the problem now, but it can hide future potential dependencies. Also, working with a ref is annoying, constantly looking up .current or forgetting to. If the function used really doesnt depend on anything in the component then it should be externalised if possible.

[@binaryskeptic5988]

There's an issue with using useCallback as well. useCallback would depend on all the state variables as well, and since state is changing on each click, useCallback would also return a new function. We'll get the same lint errors like we're getting right now.

[@ShaloopShaloop]

@@binaryskeptic5988 The only state I can see is the page number - i.e. only incrementing the page number (stated in the useCallback deps array) should rerun the effect - which if you think about it, is the exact behavior this component is looking for. In most if not all cases, dependencies may seem annoying at first, but eventually you understand that they declaratively get at exactly the functionality that is needed

[@binaryskeptic5988]

@@ShaloopShaloop Makes sense, thank you!

[@premk191]

I was looking for this solution.

[@dmz985]

you could use useMemo as well, by returning the fetch function itself from the hook's callback. useCallback is basically a specialization of useMemo for functions.

[@LilMartyFarty]

Wow, I never knew you could do {name: {first, last}} to convert nested objects into variables, awesome.

[@slysmyle972]

Object destructuring

[@nibbler7687]

Yes lol, I would have done: const { name } = userInfo; const { first, last } = name; HAHAHAHA

[@ВиталийГрозинский-й2х]

Several tips here: 1. Always add a default value when destructuring nested objects. Like { name: { first, last } = {} }. This will help you to avoid errors if `name` is not defined in base object. 2. You can also rename variables during destructuring to avoid shadows. Like { name: {first: firstName, last: lastName}}

[@nedaltrebor8553]

Yea he does a lot of destructuring here, it's confusing at first, but then extremely convenient

Ben is doing the sassy interviewer stereotype perfectly here.

[@lifetimess]

thank you, that was so nice! as a junior I feel comforted seeing this type of interview, I could actually answer those questions without even typing the code. now it would be really cool to see something like this for junior+, middle, middle+ etc. levels!

[@barkbark5645]

I'm a Sr. They didn't ask me to code anything or provide any code. It's the jr roles where they'll want to see it. At a mid and sr level. I think the interviewer can tell because you'll be asking questions about the codebase and the design patterns, issues they have, how they release new features and so on. How many times they're late or delayed, at that time what is going on (are people working weekends and late nights). You're more worried about how the company functions at that point.

[@sudarshankj]

fetchNextUser() is a function that gets newly created on every render call since its defined inside the component. Wrap fetchNextUser() inside the useCallback() hook and mention the dependencies which when changed must create a new fetchNextUser(). It's a bit more efficient this way and I guess that can get rid of the lint error.

[@tylerjnewman]

^ this to me seems like the best way to handle this

[@KRIGBERT]

Isn't that pretty much equivalent to putting it in a ref in this case, though?

Hey Ben and Clement, nice interview! For your question at 33:11, React encourages you to wrap your fetchRandomData function in useCallback and add it to the dependency array of the useEffect to satisfy the linting 😁 Unfortunately then you'd have to handle the dependency array for the useCallback hook, but it's the "official recommendation". I liked the useRef hack though :) Nice work and entertaining content as always!!

[@diegofss11]

To solve the eslint message you could: - Create the fetchNextUser inside the sideEffect so there's no dependency. If it's possible - however, it's been used outside the useEffect. - Otherwise, use a useCallBack function to memoize the function to avoid re-rendering and re-computing as it's a function.

[@alexwhitmore4902]

[@Alex-vg7uu]

If I ever get have an interviewer like this - I know it’s the kind of person I don’t want to work with. Anyone who watches someone code like that in an interview has a serious superiority complex.

[@ansedd]

it feels so good to know what they are talking about :)

[@gasparsigma]

For the final bit you can pass your setters in the effect, or memo it instead of ref it. But I usually don't have empty dependencies as linting error. Also, I'm almost sure that if you try to set some state while the component already unmounted you'll get a memory leak error on your log, so to go around that you can return early in the promise resolution by setting a flag on a return function of the effect

[@Captainlonate]

For that linter error (which I deal with weekly), take that huge function expression out of the component (it's unreadable to define those in there anyways). Your first thought will be, but now I don't have `setUserInfos` in scope. Right, so pass it as a callback function. You have one function that fetches data, creates a new merged list, and updates 2 pieces of state. It does too much anyways. Ok, but now you're thinking that you need to add `setUserInfos` to the dependency list of useEffect, and you're right back to where you started, right? That's fine, the function that comes back from `useState` is the same exact function on each render. It'll never change. Consider this snippet from the react docs: "React guarantees that setState function identity is stable and won’t change on re-renders. This is why it’s safe to omit from the useEffect or useCallback dependency list."

[@liviuganea4108]

Technically they aren't required. It's just that React will kill you for that.

[@soleypas]

For linting error at the end, since you re-defining/assign a new value to your function variable, that is the reason why it changes and always be different. So to resolve it, use use.memo or use.callback. Another thing, why using ref stopped the error, since we still assign the value to current? 1. Ref is always stay the same regardless of touching its fields, and changing field doesn't mean changing parent pointer. 2. Useref doesn't cause a re-render. So you can change the current an any point inside render function. Cheers,

[@iMakeYoutubeConfused]

8:23 thats not weird cause you're creating a function using function expression not declaration so it will not be hoisted at the top

[@clem]

Yeah, but I'm calling that function in another function (the React component), so it should never be an issue, as far as I know. I effectively did: ``` function foo() { bar(); } const bar = () => {}; ``` This _should_ always run properly, and it indeed doesn't get flagged as problematic by the normal TypeScript type checker. Seems like it's the ESLint "no-use-before-define" rule that's a little overly protective.

[@iMakeYoutubeConfused]

@@clem yes you're correct

[@EDToasty]

@@clem If I am correct, const and let variables don't get hoisted. Only var and functions do.

[@stillgotitstories4227]

@@EDToasty hoisting would matter here if foo would actually be called before bar is declared in Clement example. You would then get a reference error (if bar is declared with const, so only declaration is hoisted without any initialisation, hence the reference error) or a type error (if bar is declared with var, so declaration is hoisted and initialised with "undefined" so it is not yet initialised as a function).

Coding interviews should be like this. This is how you code in a day to day basis.

[@Anonymous11175]

At 11:50 You can't use Await directly in UseEffect Callback. Even you can't type async directly into useEffect Callback for example useEffect( async ( )=>{ const response = await someApiCall(); } ) You have to create a new function inside the callback of useEffect and then you can use Async Await. For Example useEffect( ()=>{ async function helloWorld (){ const response = await someApiCall(); } helloWorld(); }) This is the correct approach.

This is legit! I would go as far as to say it’s much more realistic for the majority of developers. Ugly but works, use the internet to cheat, print data just to see what happens, etc. thanks for both for giving this a shot.

Am I the only one to get Clement's algo expert ad with his girlfriend on Ben's videos lol

I wish everyone allow googling stuff in tech interviews😂

Awesome interview! One thing I'd point out is, when you map over userInfos, you shouldn't use the idx as a key, React keys need to be unique to each item, not assigned on the spot

[@Michael-London]

He also said it’s ‘semantic react’ - it’s more than that - react renderer needs that unique key.

this was amazing. Loved that it was frontend ( I never get that in my life anymore)

[@connorwong93]

if these aren't my react interview question tomorrow I'm coming for you.
