Reducers are functions that take the current state and an action as arguments, and return a new state result. In other words, (state, action) => newState.
Using a State Reducer with Hooks
- End user does an action
- Dev calls dispatch
- Hook determines the necessary changes
- Hook calls dev's code for further changes 👈 this is the inversion of control part
- Hook makes the state changes
given to useEffect after the initial render, you can give it an empty array as second argument.
useEffect(() => {
loadDataOnlyOnce();
}, []);
- To update multiple states on top of the previous state, use setState with the
spread operator ...
. - To update multiple states that will override all values in the state, use setState without the spread operator.
No ,useState is asynchronous
