Don't Sleep on Exhaustive Dependencies

Read Original

This article addresses the common React issue of the exhaustive-deps lint rule flagging missing dependencies in useEffect hooks. It argues against simply disabling the rule, explaining its importance for preventing bugs and ensuring code clarity. The author provides practical advice, first recommending to avoid effects altogether when possible (citing React's 'You Might Not Need an Effect' guide) and then guiding on how to structure effects correctly to satisfy the rule's requirements.
