In this video I cover everything you need to know about the useEffect hook. I compare this hook to the old way of doing things with lifecycle methods in class components so you can understand how to start using hooks effectively in your projects. This is part of a series of React videos where I cover all the important hooks in React.

I paid money for a full react course on udemy and after every hook I "learn" from there, I come to your channel to see it reexplained better. 😅

[@bishnudas3562]

course by whom?

[@yudhochristin]

Me too! hahah!

[@slayer5171]

Yes, me too..

You have the gift of breaking down any difficult topics in a way that everyone can understand. I wish there was a super like button on KZbin 👍

[@TheImprenditore]

I thought so too, he can probably bundle this up and make it into an in-person bootcamp and charge 15k per head.

[@underlecht]

yes, he is that guy.

[@cba88]

super like from here

[@KanchanSharma-bg2yh]

I saw many videos on hooks before, but this one only makes me understand completely in detail and in first attempt only. Thank you so much.

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.

[@mrmartinwatson1]

@@prince5922 no

[@tmode9303]

@@prince5922 No, it the value is same as before it won't re render. You need to spread

[@user-hs2so8zo9m]

I knew he was going to be good when he starred directly into my soul

[@michaelbarbarelli3764]

The fact that the clean-up code runs before the event listener is a key point that's rarely communicated in docs, tutorials, etc. Very well done!

[@lukas.webdev]

Yes, I agree 100%! 😉

[@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 !!!!*

[@zentaitamas]

This is the most understandable explanation I’ve ever found. Good job mate and thanks.

[@chandrakant6283]

Extremely Useful, I've just picked up react and these small doses of lectures are really making the difference. Thanx, Kyle.

[@johnnielondon9840]

I’ve now watched a couple of your videos for different react hooks and they’re great. Really clear and to the point. Thank you Kyle

[@darwinduranalba2539]

dude I wish I had met this channel sooner. You're amazing

[@woodyboy123]

You are the best man. So quick and easy to understand when you teach it. Can't believe I've been putting off taking the time to learn hooks when all it would have taken was a 13 minutes with you👍🏼

[@learningdevelopment7429]

You are incredible! I'm self taught and employed as a full stack engineer, so I've been able to find some high quality tutorials on my journey. But you my friend, are truly an incredible teacher on intermediate/advanced language topics and I hope you continue to keep making these vids!

[@makanmusty]

ditto man! hes a beast!!

[@extrouzex1070]

This guy is really awesome, talking too slowly but telling a lot of the topic for making it much easier, love u man 💚

[@riturathinsharma5931]

You are a genius. The way you explain things and connect the dots is simply awesome. It is very easy to connect to what you explain and easily get accustomed to new technology . Great Going bro, keep it up :)

[@rishabhtripathi6465]

Kyle is the best ,he explains so much things in a very time span.Other channels sometimes confuses me with so much mess.

[@ThiagoVieira91]

Hey Kyle thank you for this new series. I've been a rough time trying to study steadily while working from during this quarantine. This new series got me back on track. Waiting for the next episode!

[@mohdsameer8899]

What do you do now just curious 🧐

[@Alanm1963]

Simple clear explanation of the basic concepts. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@user-yz5hj3zg2x]

FINALLY!! After reviewing a ton of tutorials and explanations, I could finally understand what this hook was for! Thanks a lot!

[@dimaster5880]

Wow, this is the best explanation I have ever seen so far. My respect.

[@Hidiho2u]

I understand more in the last 30 minutes than I did 8 hours of lectures and workshops ago. Thank you so much!

[@calarcher4869]

every video of yours i search for because I am trying to understand a seemingly impossible concept, I leave 15 minutes later having a great understanding. 100% live up to your name, Web Dev Simplified

[@tomaszkapalka]

As always: simple and clear explanation! Thanks!

[@gabrielaperez42]

This video is incredible, thank you for explain so easier topics that seem impossible to understand!!

[@marikabasagoitia6828]

As usual, thank you so much for your explanations. By far the best resource for web development on KZbin!

[@is-sam]

You are awesome man! You explain things in a very simple and comprehensive manner, thank you :)

[@SitaMbili]

This video makes useEffect so clear and I feel like I finally understand it now thanks to you!

[@IMChristianLowe]

I'm primarily a backend/infrastructure dev and have been struggling with some very basic React concepts. I watched your useState video first and you did a fantastic job breaking it down and simplifying it so that my smooth brain could understand it. You've done a fantastic job here too. Well done!

[@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)....

[@23Kattayopp]

Kyle, every single time I feel that I don't understand something as good as I'd want, either it's html/css/js or react, I go and search a video on that subject from you. It's been a year and a half and it worked every single time. And I want to thank you for that! You're awesome.

[@bigeddie1994]

Any time I watch your videos, you connect the dots for me. Thank you for everything.

[@go_all_the_way]

you're a life saver and amazing teacher

[@GoddessofWarr]

So clear... I was struggling with this concept, now it's ok, thank you very muck Kyle !

[@lloyd_jvr9152]

Amazing video thanx Kyle actually going to start using hook now!

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

[@zouhairsahtout9682]

Thank you so much you really did explained the 'clean up' and how it works exactly, and that is always useEffect run the returns first so if you have any event listener already should gets deleted so you don't ends up with another event listener, if your useEffect gonna create an event listener to listen for something. God bless you man
