Learn useEffect In 13 Minutes

[@aaronmotacek9343]

One note at 5:00 for people newer to React. If you try to update state with setState (setResourceType in this case), but the value is the same as the current state, it won't trigger a rerender. This is because of the way the React team has chosen to implement useState (it helps to prevent unnecessary rerenders). This can become an issue when your state is an array (or an object), as you can mutate the array, try to update state, and it may not trigger a rerender because React thinks the array is the same (since the array reference is the same). You can solve this issue by using the spread operator (...) to create a truly new array or object: setState([...array]) or setState({...object}). More info on that at if you Google something like "usestate update not always triggering rerender component"

[@nemanjastankovic941]

Thanks for this heads-up. It's something really useful to know

[@prince5922]

Correction: if you use _setState_ it will always re-render.

[@vapeurdepisse]

I found that out early on. There is this rule in React that "one simply doesn't mutate state" and it applies to hooks as well. React uses Object.is() to check for equality between the previous state and the new state, and if you mutate an array or object, it is still the same object and so it won't update.

[@loneWolff1995]

Can you explain Two things why App being rendered twice, when you click post twice, I mean when you clicked first time, I understand app being rendered, but when you clicked again on Post. The app shouldn't get rendered as state is already same. Second why useEffect ran twice, even though you are not using StrictMode *Kindly help !!!!*

[@nithishm.r201]

@@loneWolff1995 14 I think this is because of React.StrictMode. This only happens in development. If you remove React.StrictMode you will get only 1 log.

[@veoquenoesunproblema]

Man, I have the same issue, of course I'm just a student right not, but the useState was a killer video for me. With that video I understood a lot of react but this useEffect is mind blowing, really funny how a lot of people love React but it is kind of complex to get it when you advance to the second page which is like, man is this so freaking easy? hah

[@alexcastro9157]

@@veoquenoesunproblema That is because people are learning ONLY React, which relays on JS, pretty much. Good video, however this guy like almost ALL people try to assign the lifecycle to useEffect. But it is not pretty much the case because functional components behavior different from react classes, Dan explained in its blog ALL DETAILS. Also this guy does not talk about Closures and why it is important to know them... (Course because people do not learn javascript but react)....

[@awesomejs]

So many times used useEffect but now i understand properly, respect for you sir.

[@sushi_lesushi]

2 questions: starting from 4:47, why you have 2 "render" printed in your console, when you have 1 console.log("render") in your code? And at 5:00 when you changed your clicked button to "posts"- "resource type changed" vs "render" were printed. When you clicked second time in a row the "posts" button, "render" was printed again and "resource type changed" was not, which is understandable according to your explanations, but your subsequent clicks on "posts" did not trigger useSatet hook (if "render" was not printed). I understood why useEffect didn't work, but didn't understand why console.log("render") didn't work as well, although it rendered when you clicked "posts" 2 times in a row

[@jallavarshith5196]

2 years later ik but, at 4:47, what happens is, whenever a state is changed, useEffect runs, ofc. but also the whole function "App" runs again, cause you know, component re-rendering. we by default use strict mode in react, what it does is, whenever re-render happens it runs the whole function twice. so it simulates a mount-unmount-remount cycle, this helps developers catch bugs or side effects. so the functions runs twice everytime a re-render is made (useState triggers re-rendered when state is changed)

[@badrivelamurasokan837]

You definitely have the teacher mindset. Really clear!

[@Ar-rp8jo]

Kyle we have an empty array as the second parameter in useEffect() which helps to prevent useEffect after every render. Here in the above code which you have used, we have empty array in two cases : 1- 5:25 and 2- 10:07 as parameter for useEffect()....... useEffect is not called when the state(resourceType) changes in case 1 but, in case 2 useEffect is called for every render (state change - windowWidth) even when we passed the empty array [ ] as a parameter. Can you please explain the difference?

[@eightyeightdays]

In the second example UseEffect isn't being used to handle a state change, but is there to add an event listener. The event listener is added once on mount, and from that point on is listening for changes to the screen size. So in the second example it's not UseEffect that's being called on every change, but the handleResize function assigned to the event listener.

[@josephquintiliano2904]

Pretend useEffect() is a person also coding the application with you , and they did their job "typing out lines of code" on the FIRST render, and since its dependency array is empty, it dosent have to "type it again", and when you clean useEffect(), it's like asking one of two things... "hey delete all your code so the next time you start typing it's on a clean slate " or two, "hey thanks for adding your code, we dont need it anymore so please delete it!" In Example 2, useEffect() is NOT running on every rerender, but the lines of code it implemented to your file on the INITIAL render is what we see being invoked every time
