I'm not a react dev, just curious. However, this is a great programming tutorial because it shows the audience different angles to resolve the issue and evaluates them against use-cases. This is something neglected with many tutorial videos!
I am glad I came across this video. I had been ignoring that warning because I didn't know what it meant, but after watching this video, now I can fix it. Thanks!
I've been building a react app for a couple of months now, this problem has occurred a lot it's really irritating this video cleared it a little bit, but I need to apply it to my code to learn it 🙃
Ooo we're definitely guilty of some of this over here! I like the idea of separating out api calls. It gets a little wild in there. Thanks for the breakdown!
Dude thank you. I had been using useEffect in some of my apps and was passing a state value in as a dependency in the dependencies array and wasn't understanding why api calls were getting made a million times. Definitely not a good thing when you can only make a limited number of api calls per month for certain apis lol. I was looking for how to stop this and had tried watching other videos but nobody was helping, so thank you 🙏
useCallback and useMemo do the same thing. They just remember the value and stop re-creating functions unnecessarily. The only difference is useCallback returns the entire function while useMemo runs the function and returns the result.
I am working with React app atm and that lint warning for useEffect dependency is annoying. The first solution to move the code outside of component seemed to be the best and simplest imo.
I really appreciate the detail of your breakdown of the infinite loop with function dependencies. What are your thoughts on the case of returning an api fetch callback from a custom hook, which then gets called in useEffect (naturally this triggered the useEffect dependencies warning)? I can't figure out if there's any simple fix for this (or if my code setup is violating some fundamental React principles, haha). Thanks.
@@WebDevCody It's funny, I jumped into making a custom hook without ever asked myself that before, but I've since incorporated both authContext and react-router into my hook for checking authentication on any api call (setting isAuth and authError states) and conditionally navigating to login. Does it sound like I should be extracting the api logic into a helper function, while refactoring the custom hook to focus just on auth handling?
@@paeon21 I'd say all axios calls should be wrapped into their own helper functions. You'd use these functions from your components. I also don't think you should even be trying to make these requests unless you're authenticated, so if you have a component that tries to hit a secured endpoint on mount, you shouldn't be rendering it when not logged in.... join my discord, it's too hard to help via yt comments
Please, leave the link to the code's repo so everyone can check whether or not the code in your video works or not. In my example it does not, since I'm not getting the same warning you do.
BTW, you don't want to use useCallback with your API requests, because it assumes your function is pure, that means it always returns the same result given the same input. But if something happened on the server side and the object you're fetching has changed (like someone patched or deleted the resource), you're not making the request because the response have been cached and you have no way of finding that out.
That’s incorrect. UseCallback caches the function reference. Try it out. Make an api that increments by one each request and do this same approach on the UI with useCallback. You’ll get a new number each time. Also, where does it say in the react docs useCallback assumes a pure function? It doesn’t.
@@okopyl cuz it recreates the whole component. useCallback preserves the reference and only gets a new one when dependencies change. Go check it out yourself.
@@WebDevCody Agreed, I'm used to work with Vue and just using React for a project, these hooks concept seems easy on docs, but pretty hard to use properly on practice. But I'm wondering, these hooks are there to enable us to optimize how the component works, right? What about Vue, is it able to optimize by itself or what?
}, useEffect(() => { fetchMovies(); }, []);``` console.log(dataone) is logging an empty array but console.log(response) logs out the data can some one help
setter function provided by useState does not set the value right away. when you call it in somewhere in the code React schedules a re-render of the component with the newly set value. So dataone actually reflects the value in the following re-render. you can clearly see this if you take the console.log(dataone) out of the fetchMovie function. you will see two logs, one with an empty array (your initial value) and the other with data.
That will work as well and is a good solution, but it won’t solve every issue if your app needs to dynamically fetch data. You’ll eventually run into this same issue if you’re using a linter that wants the useEffect deps array.
thank you, been struggling here for 2 hours

Yeah keeping them separate helps them also be reusable in other components if needed
Thank you brother for bringing up this👏👏. I feel you should bring up all react topics in depth as you do. It would be helpful to everyone.🤝🤝

Like I was watching the useEffect working with console logs and was like 🤬 here goes all my api calls
Isn’t react great?!
useCallback and useMemo do the same thing. They just remember the value and stop re-creating functions unnecessarily. The only difference is useCallback returns the entire function while useMemo runs the function and returns the result.
Does that mean you can get the same functionality as useCallback when you pass a function that returns a function in useMemo?
very very good video, thank you!
Even though I don't use React in my dev job, your videos are just great and informative.
I will try this solution tomorrow, am trying to fix it for multiple hours in my project and stopped to take a break.
Hopefully it will work.
Awesome! Just What I wanted.
amazing explanation bro! thank you so much!

Very good topic to pick.
Great tutorial to the point thank you for your great explanation!!
Not junk at all, I have just leant something important.thx.
Which theme are you using?
Shades of purple
useCallback => use memory function
useMemo => use memory value (calculator)
Hi, great video! Thank you! I'm wondering... how do you get the errors on your editor window? e.g. the error (warning?) on 0:21.
thank you!

I guess I’d ask why is the api fetch in a custom hook and not just a helper method? Are you setting isLoading state or something?

@@WebDevCody Maybe I mistaked it with useMemo, I'll give it a try, thank you.
@@tnsaturday yeah you’re correct, use memo will cache the value
this is useful vidoe!
Also keeping the dependency array empty fixes this issue.
Best solution is useQuery or use custom hooks
Good job babe!!!! FIRST!!!!!!
Shucks do you have super powers!? I was so quick to see this one!! ONA THESE DAYSS!!
Bahahahaha neverrrrrr!!!!!!!
Ohh I like this over engineered stuff from react
great
There is another solution the `useEffectEvent`
Why recreating a function reinvokes useEffect?
The reference to the function remains the same, meaning getPokemon === getPokemon
Actually after re-render getPokemon function will have a new reference
@@rea1m_ why?
@@okopyl cuz it recreates the whole component. useCallback preserves the reference and only gets a new one when dependencies change. Go check it out yourself.
@@rea1m_ thanks
React functional components are so complicated compared to Vue clearness.
that I will agree with. these hooks make things twice as hard to understand.

i tried doing this ````const [dataone, setdataone] = useState([]);
const [datatwo, setdatatwo] = useState([]);
const fetchMovies = async () => {
const response = await Promise.all([
axios.get("url"),
axios.get("url"),
]);
console.log(response)
setdataone(response[0])
setdatatwo(response[0])
conosole.log(dataone)
},
useEffect(() => {
fetchMovies();
}, []);```
console.log(dataone) is logging an empty array but console.log(response) logs out the data can some one help
setter function provided by useState does not set the value right away. when you call it in somewhere in the code React schedules a re-render of the component with the newly set value. So dataone actually reflects the value in the following re-render. you can clearly see this if you take the console.log(dataone) out of the fetchMovie function.
you will see two logs, one with an empty array (your initial value) and the other with data.
Best work around might be Next js, fetch the pokemons in getStaticProps then pass em to the page as prop
That will work as well and is a good solution, but it won’t solve every issue if your app needs to dynamically fetch data. You’ll eventually run into this same issue if you’re using a linter that wants the useEffect deps array.
