Stop using isLoading booleans

Read Original

This programming article demonstrates the pitfalls of using multiple, independent boolean states (e.g., isLoading, isRejected) to manage async operations. Using a React hook for the Geolocation API as an example, it shows how this pattern can cause bugs where errors and data are displayed incorrectly. The author proposes using a single status enum as a more robust and reliable alternative to prevent these conflicting state issues.
