React useEffect Hooks and useContext Hook
React useEffect Hooks
- The useEffect Hook is used to perform side effects in your components. Example: fetching data, directly updating the DOM, and timers.
- useEffect(<function>,<dependency>)
import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
const [calculation, setCalculation] = useState(0);
useEffect(() => {
setCalculation(() => count * 2);
}, [count]); // <- add the count variable here
return (
<>
<p>Count: {count}</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount((c) => c + 1)}>+</button>
<p>Calculation: {calculation}</p>
</>
);
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<Counter />);
React useContext Hooks
- React useContext is used to manage states globally.
- Create Context
import { useState, createContext } from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
const UserContext = createContext()
- Context provider to wrap the tree of component that needs the state context.
function Component1() {
const [user, setUser] = useState("Jesse Hall");
return (
<UserContext.Provider value={user}>
<h1>{`Hello ${user}!`}</h1>
<Component2 user={user} />
</UserContext.Provider>
);
}
- Use the useContext hook
import { useState, createContext, useContext } from "react";
function Component5() {
const user = useContext(UserContext);
return (
<>
<h1>Component 5</h1>
<h2>{`Hello ${user} again!`}</h2>
</>
);
}
Example:
import { useState, createContext, useContext } from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
const UserContext = createContext();
function Component1() {
const [user, setUser] = useState("Jesse Hall");
return (
<UserContext.Provider value={user}>
<h1>{`Hello ${user}!`}</h1>
<Component2 />
</UserContext.Provider>
);
}
function Component2() {
return (
<>
<h1>Component 2</h1>
<Component3 />
</>
);
}
function Component3() {
return (
<>
<h1>Component 3</h1>
<Component4 />
</>
);
}
function Component4() {
return (
<>
<h1>Component 4</h1>
<Component5 />
</>
);
}
function Component5() {
const user = useContext(UserContext);
return (
<>
<h1>Component 5</h1>
<h2>{`Hello ${user} again!`}</h2>
</>
);
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<Component1 />);
