React Hooks Notes

  • Reuse stateful logic between components (avoid wrapper hell in render props or HOC)
  • Split one complex component into smaller functions
  • Use more of React features without classes
  • Class components will read this.props too early or too late, because of mutable this in React (however props argument of function components is immutable), that says function components capture the rendered values. more details on Overreacted.

Hooks Types

Hooks definition:

  • 从 React 内部 (Reconciler) 看, Hooks 可分为三类:
    • State Hooks (useState/useReducer/useContext/useRef/useCallback/useMemo): 主要作用于 Reconciler.Render 阶段, fiber.pendingProps/memoizedProps/memoizedState/updateQueue.
    • Effect Hooks (useLayoutEffect/useEffect): 在 Reconciler.Render 阶段设置 fiber.flags (effects flags), 主要作用于 Reconciler.Commit 阶段, 功能接近 ClassComponent.LifeCycle.
    • Hybrid Hooks (useDeferredValue/useTransition/useId/useSyncExternalStore): State + Effect Hooks, 既保存状态, 又产生副作用.
interface Hook {
// hook 保存的数据.
memoizedState: any
// 本次更新以 baseState 为基础计算新的 state.
baseState: any
// 本次更新开始时已有的 update 队列.
baseQueue: Update<any, any> | null
// 本次更新需要增加的 update 队列.
queue: UpdateQueue<any, any> | null
// 指向下一个 hook.
next: Hook | null
}

interface Update<S, A> {
lane: Lane
action: A
hasEagerState: boolean
eagerState: S | null
next: Update<S, A>
}

interface UpdateQueue<S, A> {
pending: Update<S, A> | null
interleaved: Update<S, A> | null
dispatch: ((A) => mixed) | null
lanes: Lanes
lastRenderedReducer: ((S, A) => S) | null
lastRenderedState: S | null
}

interface Effect {
tag: HookFlags
create: () => (() => void) | void
destroy: (() => void) | void
deps: Array<mixed> | null
next: Effect
}

type HookType =
| 'useState'
| 'useReducer'
| 'useContext'
| 'useRef'
| 'useEffect'
| 'useInsertionEffect'
| 'useLayoutEffect'
| 'useCallback'
| 'useMemo'
| 'useImperativeHandle'
| 'useDebugValue'
| 'useDeferredValue'
| 'useTransition'
| 'useMutableSource'
| 'useSyncExternalStore'
| 'useId'
| 'useCacheRefresh'

Hooks Memoized State

  • FunctionComponent 内部所有 Hooks memoized state 组成 FunctionComponent Fiber memoized state.
  • FunctionComponent Fiber: fiber.memoizedState 指向第一个 Hook.
HooksMemoized State
useRefref: { current }
useMemo[nextValue, deps]
useCallback[callback, deps]
useStatestate
useEffecteffect: { tag, create, destroy, deps, next }

Hooks Workflow

  • Reconciler.Render/Reconciler.Update: performUnitOfWork -> beginWork -> updateFunctionComponent -> renderWithHooks -> mountXXX/updateXXX/rerenderXXX -> reconcileChildren.
  • Reconciler.Commit:
    • Update layout effect (useLayoutEffect):
      • Mutation phase: commitWork -> commitHooKEffectListUnmount -> effect.destroy.
      • Layout phase: commitLifeCycles -> commitHookEffectListMount -> effect.create.
    • Update | Passive passive effect (useEffect):
      • Layout phase: commitLifeCycles -> schedulePassiveEffects, 收集 Effects.
      • scheduleCallback -> flushPassiveEffects -> effect.destroy -> effect.create.
    • 只有 effect.tag 包含 HasEffect 时才会调用 effect.destroyeffect.create.
  • renderWithHooks:
    • HooksDispatcherOnMount: mountXXX.
    • HooksDispatcherOnUpdate: updateXXX.
    • HooksDispatcherOnRerender: updateXXX/rerenderXXX.
  • mountXXX: mountWorkInProgressHook -> respective mount logic.
  • updateXXX: updateWorkInProgressHook -> respective update logic.

Minimal Hooks Implementation

const MyReact = (function () {
const hooks = []
let currentHook = 0 // array of hooks, and an iterator!
return {
render(Component) {
const Comp = Component() // run effects
Comp.render()
currentHook = 0 // reset for next render
return Comp
},
useEffect(callback, depArray) {
const hasNoDeps = !depArray
const deps = hooks[currentHook] // type: array | undefined
const hasChangedDeps = deps
? !depArray.every((el, i) => el === deps[i])
: true
if (hasNoDeps || hasChangedDeps) {
callback()
hooks[currentHook] = depArray
}
currentHook++ // done with this hook
},
useState(initialValue) {
hooks[currentHook] = hooks[currentHook] || initialValue // type: any
const setStateHookIndex = currentHook // for setState's closure!
const setState = newState => (hooks[setStateHookIndex] = newState)
return [hooks[currentHook++], setState]
},
}
})()
function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = MyReact.useState(0)
const [text, setText] = MyReact.useState('foo') // 2nd state hook!
MyReact.useEffect(() => {
console.log('effect', count, text)
}, [count, text])
return {
click: () => setCount(count + 1),

UseState Hook

  • Read rendered props/state.
  • Return value of useState is ref to hooks[idx]: direct change to return value doesn't change state value.
  • Return function of useState (setState) is to change value of hooks[idx].
  • 由于 setState 更新状态 (dispatch action) 时基于 hook.BaseState, setState(value + 1)setState(value => value + 1) 存在差异.
  • 当在 useEffect 中调用 setState 时, 最好使用 setState(callback) 形式, 这样可以不用再 Deps List 中显式声明 state, 也可以避免一些 BUG.
  • dispatchAction:
    • 创建 Update 对象.
    • 将 Update 对象添加到 hook.queue.pending 队列.
    • 根据 reducerEagerState 与 currentState, 决定是否发起新的 Reconciler 调度.

UseState Hooks Dispatcher

function mountState<T>(initialState: T) {
const hook = mountWorkInProgressHook()

if (typeof initialState === 'function')
initialState = initialState()

// Setup Hook.
hook.memoizedState = hook.baseState = initialState
const queue = (hook.queue = {
pending: null,
dispatch: null,
lastRenderedReducer: basicStateReducer,
lastRenderedState: initialState,
})
const dispatch = (queue.dispatch = dispatchAction.bind(
null,
currentlyRenderingFiber,
queue
))

// Return Hook state and dispatch action.
return [hook.memoizedState, dispatch]
}

function updateState<T>(initialState: T) {
const basicStateReducer = (state, action) => {
return typeof action === 'function' ? action(state) : action
}

return updateReducer(basicStateReducer)
}

function dispatchAction<S, A>(
fiber: Fiber,
queue: UpdateQueue<S, A>,
action: A
) {
// 1. 创建 Update 对象.
const eventTime = requestEventTime()
const lane = requestUpdateLane(fiber)
const update: Update<S, A> = {
lane,
action,
eagerReducer: null,
eagerState: null,
next: null,
}

// 2. 将 Update 对象添加到 hook.queue.pending 队列.
const pending = queue.pending
if (pending === null) {
// 首个 Update, 创建一个环形链表.
update.next = update
}
else {
update.next = pending.next
pending.next = update
}
queue.pending = update

const alternate = fiber.alternate
if (
fiber === currentlyRenderingFiber
|| (alternate !== null && alternate === currentlyRenderingFiber)
) {
// 渲染时更新, 做好全局标记.
didScheduleRenderPhaseUpdateDuringThisPass = didScheduleRenderPhaseUpdate
= true
}
else {
if (
fiber.lanes === NoLanes
&& (alternate === null || alternate.lanes === NoLanes)
) {
const lastRenderedReducer = queue.lastRenderedReducer

if (lastRenderedReducer !== null) {
let prevDispatcher
const currentState: S = queue.lastRenderedState
const eagerState = lastRenderedReducer(currentState, action)
update.eagerReducer = lastRenderedReducer
update.eagerState = eagerState

// 若在 Render 阶段, reducerEagerState === currentState,
// 则可以无需再次计算状态, 跳过调度阶段, 后续直接使用 update.eagerState.
if (is(eagerState, currentState))
return
}
}

// 3. 发起调度更新, 进入 Reconciler.
scheduleUpdateOnFiber(fiber, lane, eventTime)
}
}

Queueing series of state updates:

export function getFinalState(baseState, queue) {
let finalState = baseState

for (const update of queue)
finalState = typeof update === 'function' ? update(finalState) : update

return finalState
}

UseState Hooks Usage

setState((prevState) => {
// Object.assign would also work
return { ...prevState, ...updatedValues }
})
let newState = baseState
const firstUpdate = hook.baseQueue.next
let update = firstUpdate

// setState(value + 1) 与 setState(value => value + 1) 存在差异
// 遍历 baseQueue 中的每一个 update
do {
if (typeof update.action === 'function')
newState = update.action(newState)
else newState = action

update = reconciler()
} while (update !== firstUpdate)
import { useState } from 'react'

export default function Example() {
// Declare a new state variable, which we'll call "count"
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)

return (
<div>
<p>
You clicked
{count}
{' '}
times
</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Click me</button>
</div>
)
}
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'

function FriendStatus(props) {
const [isOnline, setIsOnline] = useState(null)

function handleStatusChange(status) {
setIsOnline(status.isOnline)
}

useEffect(() => {
ChatAPI.subscribeToFriendStatus(props.friend.id, handleStatusChange)

return () => {
ChatAPI.unsubscribeFromFriendStatus(props.friend.id, handleStatusChange)
}
})

if (isOnline === null)
return 'Loading...'

return isOnline ? 'Online' : 'Offline'
}

// Mount with { friend: { id: 100 } } props
ChatAPI.subscribeToFriendStatus(100, handleStatusChange) // Run first effect

// Update with { friend: { id: 200 } } props
// Clean up previous effect
ChatAPI.unsubscribeFromFriendStatus(100, handleStatusChange)
ChatAPI.subscribeToFriendStatus(200, handleStatusChange) // Run next effect

// Update with { friend: { id: 300 } } props
// Clean up previous effect
ChatAPI.unsubscribeFromFriendStatus(200, handleStatusChange)
ChatAPI.subscribeToFriendStatus(300, handleStatusChange) // Run next effect

// Unmount
ChatAPI.unsubscribeFromFriendStatus(300, handleStatusChange) // Clean up last effect

UseReducer Hook

  • Use useState whenever manage a JS primitive (e.g. string, boolean, integer).
  • Use useReducer whenever manage an object or array.
  • It’s best to put states together in one state object when they conditionally dependent on each other (useReducer).
  • Using useReducer over useState gives us predictable state transitions. It comes in very powerful when state changes become more complex.

// Return Hook state and dispatch action.
const dispatch: Dispatch<A> = queue.dispatch
return [hook.memoizedState, dispatch]
}

UseReducer Hooks Usage

Use useState if:

  • manage JavaScript primitives as state
  • have simple state transitions
  • want to have business logic within components
  • have different properties that don’t change in any correlated manner and can be managed by multiple useState hooks
  • state is co-located to your component
  • for a small application

Use useReducer if:

  • manage JavaScript objects or arrays as state
  • have complex state transitions
  • want to move business logic into reducers
  • have different properties that are tied together and should be managed in one state object
  • update state deep down in your component tree
  • for a medium size application
  • for easier testing
  • for more predictable and maintainable state architecture
function App() {
const [state, dispatch] = useState({ count: 0 })

// 等价于
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(
(state, action) => {
return typeof action === 'function' ? action(state) : action
},
{ count: 0 }
)

// 当需要更新 state 时, 有 2 种方式:
// 1. 直接设置:
dispatch({ count: 1 })
// 2.通过回调函数设置:
dispatch(state => ({ count: state.count + 1 }))
}
function insertToHistory(state) {
if (state && Array.isArray(state.history)) {
// Do not mutate
const newHistory = [...state.history]
newHistory.push(state)
return newHistory
}
console.warn(`
WARNING! The state was attempting capture but something went wrong.
Please check if the state is controlled correctly.
`)
return state.history || []
}

function reducer(state, action) {
switch (action.type) {
case 'set-theme':
return { ...state, theme: action.theme, history: insertToHistory(state) }
case 'add-friend':
return {
...state,
friends: [...state.friends, action.friend],
history: insertToHistory(state),
}
case 'undo': {
const isEmpty = !state.history.length
if (isEmpty)
return state
return { ...state.history[state.history.length - 1] }
}
case 'reset':
return { ...initialState, history: insertToHistory(state) }
default:
return state
}
}

export default function App() {
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState)
return <div>App</div>
}

UseMemo Hook

  • Returns a memoized value.
  • Only recompute the memoized value when one of the dependencies has changed.
  • Shallow compare diff.
  • Optimization helps to avoid expensive calculations on every render (avoid re-render problem):
    • Good use for complex objects or expensive calculations.
    • Donn't use for primitive values or simple calculations.

UseMemo Hooks Dispatcher

function mountMemo<T>(
nextCreate: () => T,
deps: Array<mixed> | void | null
): T {
const hook = mountWorkInProgressHook()
const nextDeps = deps === undefined ? null : deps
const nextValue = nextCreate()
hook.memoizedState = [nextValue, nextDeps]
return nextValue
}

function updateMemo<T>(
nextCreate: () => T,
deps: Array<mixed> | void | null
): T {
const hook = updateWorkInProgressHook()
const nextDeps = deps === undefined ? null : deps
const prevState = hook.memoizedState

if (prevState !== null) {
if (nextDeps !== null) {
const prevDeps: Array<mixed> | null = prevState[1]

if (areHookInputsEqual(nextDeps, prevDeps))
return prevState[0]
}
}

const nextValue = nextCreate()
hook.memoizedState = [nextValue, nextDeps]
return nextValue
}

UseMemo Hooks Usage

export default function Button({
color,
children,
}: {
color: string
children: ReactElement
}) {
const textColor = useMemo(
() => slowlyCalculateTextColor(color),
[color] // ✅ Don’t recalculate until `color` changes
)

return (
<button className={`Button-${color} Button-text-${textColor}`}>
{children}
</button>
)
}

UseCallback Hook

  • Returns a memoized callback.
  • 对事件句柄进行缓存, useState 的第二个返回值是 dispatch, 但是每次都是返回新的函数, 使用 useCallback, 可以让它使用上次的函数. 在虚拟 DOM 更新过程中, 如果事件句柄相同, 那么就不用每次都进行 removeEventListeneraddEventListener.
  • useCallback(fn, deps) is equivalent to useMemo(() => fn, deps).

UseCallback Hooks Dispatcher

function mountCallback<T>(callback: T, deps: Array<mixed> | void | null): T {
const hook = mountWorkInProgressHook()
const nextDeps = deps === undefined ? null : deps
hook.memoizedState = [callback, nextDeps]
return callback
}

function updateCallback<T>(callback: T, deps: Array<mixed> | void | null): T {
const hook = updateWorkInProgressHook()
const nextDeps = deps === undefined ? null : deps
const prevState = hook.memoizedState

if (prevState !== null) {
if (nextDeps !== null) {
const prevDeps: Array<mixed> | null = prevState[1]

if (areHookInputsEqual(nextDeps, prevDeps))
return prevState[0]
}
}

hook.memoizedState = [callback, nextDeps]
return callback
}

UseCallback Hooks Usage

export default function Parent() {
const [query, setQuery] = useState('react')

// ✅ Preserves identity until query changes
const fetchData = useCallback(() => {
const url = `https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?query=${query}`
// ... Fetch data and return it ...
}, [query]) // ✅ Callback deps are OK

return <Child fetchData={fetchData} />
}
export default function Child({ fetchData }) {
const [data, setData] = useState(null)

useEffect(() => {
fetchData().then(setData)
}, [fetchData]) // ✅ Effect deps are OK

// ...
}

UseRef Hook

UseRef Hooks Dispatcher

function mountRef<T>(initialValue: T) {
const hook = mountWorkInProgressHook()
const ref = {
current: initialValue,
}
Object.seal(ref)
hook.memoizedState = ref
return ref
}

function updateRef<T>(initialValue: T) {
const hook = updateWorkInProgressHook()
return hook.memoizedState
}

Refs Features

  • Mutable Value: useRef() is useful for for keeping any mutable value around. Updating reference values inside handlers/useEffect callbacks is good, updating reference values during rendering (outside callbacks) is bad.
  • Lifecycle Persisted Value: useRef() creates a plain JavaScript object, is persisted (stays the same) between component re-renderings.
  • Silent Value: update reference values don't trigger re-renderings.
  • Latest Value: useRef() read rendered props/state from the future. It's good to get latest value of a particular prop or state (the updated reference value is available right away).
export default function Example() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
const latestCount = useRef(count)

useEffect(() => {
// Set the mutable latest value
latestCount.current = count
setTimeout(() => {
// Read the mutable latest value
console.log(`You clicked ${latestCount.current} times`)
}, 3000)
})

return <div>Example</div>
}

Refs Update Mechanism

  • Update a ref, no re-renderings happens.
  • Update a state, the deep rendering mechanism works to re-render components.
  • Store values in refs and have them updated, which is more efficient than useState (which can be expensive) when the values are to be updated multiple times within a second.
export default function UserAvatar(props: { src: string, name: string }) {
return <img src={props.src} alt="User Avatar" />
}
export default function Username(props: { name: string }) {
return <span>{props.name}</span>
}
export default function User() {
const user = useRef({
name: 'UserName',
avatarURL: 'https://avatar.com/avatar',
})

useEffect(() => {
setTimeout(() => {
user.current = {
name: 'NewUserName',
avatarURL: 'https://avatar.com/newavatar',
}
}, 5000)
})

// Only output once
console.log('Rendered.')

// Both children won't be re-rendered
// due to shallow rendering mechanism
return (
<div>
<Username name={user.name} />
<UserAvatar src={user.avatarURL} />
</div>
)
}

Refs Usage

If your component needs to store some value, but it doesn’t impact the rendering logic, choose refs:

  • Storing timeout IDs.
  • Storing and manipulating DOM elements (binding to HTMLElement).
  • Storing other objects that aren’t necessary to calculate the JSX: work with external systems or browser APIs.
  • ref can either be a state that does not need to change too often.
  • ref can either be a state that should change as frequently as possible but should not trigger full re-rendering of the component.
import { useRef, useState } from 'react'

}

return (

<MyInput ref={inputRef} />
<button onClick={handleClick}>Focus the input</button>
</>
)
}

UseContext Hook

  • Create custom XXXContextProvider: 一般都不会裸露地使用 Context.Provider, 而是封装为独立的 Provider 组件, 将子组件作为 props.children 传入, 这样当 Context 变化时 Provider 不会重新渲染它的子组件, 由依赖了 context 的子组件自己进行重渲染, 未依赖的子组件不会重新渲染. 使用 useMemo 使得 value 不会导致不必要的重复渲染 (Re-rendering).
  • Create custom useXXXContext hook:
  • Check whether component under XXXContextProvider.
  • Wrap complex context logic and only expose simple API (Facade design pattern).
  • Use useMemo/useCallback to memorize values and functions.
  • Context 中只定义被大多数组件所共用的属性, use context to avoid Prop Drilling.

useMemo,
useState,
} from 'react'

const CountContext = createContext()

export default function CountProvider(props) {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)

count,

UseEffect Hook

UseEffect Hooks Dispatcher

function mountEffect(
create: () => (() => void) | void,
deps: Array<mixed> | void | null
): void {
return mountEffectImpl(
UpdateEffect | PassiveEffect,
HookPassive,
create,
deps
)
}

function mountEffectImpl(fiberFlags, hookFlags, create, deps) {
const hook = mountWorkInProgressHook()
const nextDeps = deps === undefined ? null : deps
currentlyRenderingFiber.flags |= fiberFlags // UpdateEffect | PassiveEffect.
hook.memoizedState = pushEffect(
HasEffect | hookFlags, // PassiveHook.
create,
undefined,
nextDeps
)
}

function updateEffect(
create: () => (() => void) | void,
deps: Array<mixed> | void | null
): void {
return updateEffectImpl(PassiveEffect, HookPassive, create, deps)
}

function updateEffectImpl(fiberFlags, hookFlags, create, deps) {
const hook = updateWorkInProgressHook()
const nextDeps = deps === undefined ? null : deps
let destroy

if (currentHook !== null) {
const prevEffect = currentHook.memoizedState

if (nextDeps !== null) {
const prevDeps = prevEffect.deps

if (areHookInputsEqual(nextDeps, prevDeps)) {
// 如果依赖不变, 新建 Effect (tag 不含 HookHasEffect).
// Reconciler.Commit 阶段会跳过此 Effect.
pushEffect(hookFlags, create, destroy, nextDeps)
return
}
}
}

// 如果依赖改变, 更改 fiber.flags, 新建 Effect.
// Reconciler.Commit 阶段会再次执行此 Effect.
currentlyRenderingFiber.flags |= fiberFlags
hook.memoizedState = pushEffect(
HasEffect | hookFlags,
create,
destroy,
nextDeps
)
}

function pushEffect(tag, create, destroy, deps) {
const effect = {
tag,
create, // User code: effect callback.
destroy, // User code: destroy callback.
deps, // User code: deps list.
next: null,
}

let componentUpdateQueue = currentlyRenderingFiber.updateQueue

if (componentUpdateQueue === null) {
componentUpdateQueue = createFunctionComponentUpdateQueue()
currentlyRenderingFiber.updateQueue = componentUpdateQueue
componentUpdateQueue.lastEffect = effect.next = effect
}
else {
const lastEffect = componentUpdateQueue.lastEffect

if (lastEffect === null) {
componentUpdateQueue.lastEffect = effect.next = effect
}
else {
// Circular effect list.
const firstEffect = lastEffect.next
lastEffect.next = effect
effect.next = firstEffect
componentUpdateQueue.lastEffect = effect
}
}

return effect
}

UseEffect Lifecycle

  1. React renders UI for current props/state to screen.
  2. React cleans up the effect for prev props/state.
  3. React runs the effect for current props/state (useEffect got invoked after componentDidMount).

UseEffect Nasty Loop

The effect hook runs when the component mounts but also when the component updates. Because we are setting the state after every data fetch, the component updates and the effect runs again. It fetches the data again and again. That’s a bug and needs to be avoided.

UseEffect Deps List

无论是将组件编写为类还是函数, 都必须为 effect 响应所有 props 和 state 的更新 (Reactive Value). 在传统的 Class Component, 需要编写代码去检测这些 props 和 state 是否变更 (shouldComponentUpdate, componentDidUpdate). 在 Function Component, 借助 useEffect 可以实现自动检测.

If one of deps list changes, the hook runs again. Provide empty array as second argument to the effect hook to avoid activating it on component updates but only for the mounting of the component. For listeners binding, use [] deps list should be better.

set function returned from useState and ref object returned by useRef are Stable Value, omit them from deps list.

Primitive values are better:

function ChatRoom({ options }) {
const [message, setMessage] = useState('')
const { roomId, serverUrl } = options

useEffect(() => {
const connection = createConnection({
roomId,
serverUrl,
})
connection.connect()
return () => connection.disconnect()
}, [roomId, serverUrl]) // ✅ All dependencies declared
}

Functions in useEffect:

  • If only use some functions inside an effect, move them directly into that effect.
  • Hoisting functions that don’t need props or state outside of component, and pull the ones that are used only by an effect inside of that effect.
  • For useCallback function, it should be in deps list useEffect(() => {}, [callback])
// https://www.robinwieruch.de/react-hooks-fetch-data
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import axios from 'axios'

function useDataApi(initialUrl, initialData) {
const [data, setData] = useState(initialData)
const [url, setUrl] = useState(initialUrl)
const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false)
const [isError, setIsError] = useState(false)

useEffect(() => {
const fetchData = async () => {
setIsError(false)
setIsLoading(true)

try {
const result = await axios(url)

setData(result.data)
}
catch (error) {
setIsError(true)
}

setIsLoading(false)
}

fetchData()
}, [url])

const doFetch = (url) => {
setUrl(url)
}

return { data, isLoading, isError, doFetch }
}

UseEffect Closure

  • useEffect Hook 会丢弃上一次渲染结果, 它会清除上一次 effect, 再建立下一个 effect (也会创建新的 Closure), 下一个 effect 锁住新的 props 和 state (整个 Counter 函数在 re-render 时会被重复调用一次).
  • setInterval 不会丢弃上一次结果, 会引用旧状态 Closure 中的变量, 导致其与 useEffect 所预期行为不一致.
  • 可以通过 useRef 解决这一现象: get latest value.
// BUG
export default function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)

useEffect(() => {
const id = setInterval(() => {
setCount(count + 1) // always 1 regardless `count` value change
}, 1000)
return () => clearInterval(id)
// eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
}, [])

return <h1>{count}</h1>
}
export default function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)

useInterval(() => {
setCount(count + 1)
}, 1000)

return <h1>{count}</h1>
}

function useInterval(callback, delay) {
const savedCallback = useRef(callback)

// Remember the latest callback if it changes
useEffect(() => {
savedCallback.current = callback
}, [callback])

// Set up the interval
useEffect(() => {
function tick() {
savedCallback.current()
}

const id = setInterval(tick, delay)
return () => clearInterval(id)
}, [delay])
}

UseEffect State

  • UseEffect Closure 所述, 每次调用 useEffect 时, 会捕获那一次 render 时的 props 和 state.
  • Class Component 中的 this.state.xxx 却总是指向最新的 state.
export default function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)

useEffect(() => {
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(`You clicked ${count} times`)
}, 3000)
})

return (
<div>
<p>
You clicked
{count}
{' '}
times
</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Click me</button>
</div>
)
}
// Output:
// Mounted: You clicked 0 times
// Clicked 5 times in 3s
// You clicked 1 times
// You clicked 2 times
// You clicked 3 times
// You clicked 4 times
// You clicked 5 times
class Counter {
componentDidUpdate() {
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(`You clicked ${this.state.count} times`)
}, 3000)
}

render() {
const { count } = this.props

return (
<div>
<p>
You clicked
{count}
{' '}
times
</p>
<button onClick={() => this.setState(count + 1)}>Click me</button>
</div>
)
}
}
// Output:
// Mounted: You clicked 0 times
// Clicked 5 times in 3s
// You clicked 5 times
// You clicked 5 times
// You clicked 5 times
// You clicked 5 times
// You clicked 5 times

UseEffect Cleanup

  • Avoid memory leaks.
  • Prevent unexpected errors.
  • Good user experience.

Cleanup API requests (race condition:

  • Boolean flag.
  • AbortController.
function App({ url }) {
const [results, setResults] = useState([])
const [page, setPage] = useState(1)

// Cleanup with Boolean flag:
useEffect(() => {
let ignore = false
fetchResults(url, page).then((json) => {
if (!ignore)
setResults(json)
})
return () => {
ignore = true
}
}, [url, page])

// Cleanup with AbortController:
useEffect(() => {
const controller = new AbortController()
const { signal } = controller

const fetchData = async () => {
const response = await fetch(url, { signal })
const json = await response.json()
setResults(json)
}

fetchData()

return () => controller.abort()
}, [url])
}

Cleanup connections:

function App() {
useEffect(() => {
const socket = new WebSocket('url', protocols)
// do what you want with the socket

return () => socket.close()
}, [])
}

Cleanup timeouts:

function App() {
useEffect(() => {
const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
// do something in the timeout
}, 3000)

return () => clearTimeout(timeoutId)
}, [])
}
React 18 Development Strict Mode

With Strict Mode in React 18, React will simulate unmounting and remounting component in development mode:

  • React mounts component:
    • Layout effects are created.
    • Effect effects are created.
  • React simulates unmounting component:
    • Layout effects are destroyed.
    • Effects are destroyed.
  • React simulates mounting component with previous state:
    • Layout effect setup code runs.
    • Effect setup code runs.

When Strict Mode is on, remounts twice helps find out Effects need cleanup and exposes bugs like race conditions early.

UseEffect Usage

Effects are typically used to synchronize with external system: browser APIs, third-party library, network, and so on.

Effects let you specify side effects that are caused by rendering itself, rather than by a particular event:

  • Sending a message in the chat is an event because it is directly caused by user clicking a specific button: put it in handleClick().
  • However, setting up a server connection is an Effect because it needs to happen regardless of which interaction caused the component to appear: put int in useEffect().

If your effect only adjusts some state based on other state, you might not need effects:

  • You don’t need Effects to transform data for rendering.
  • You don’t need Effects to handle user events.
function handleClick() {
// ✅ Buying is an event because it is caused by a particular interaction.
fetch('/api/buy', { method: 'POST' })
showNotification(`Added ${product.name} to the shopping cart!`)
navigateTo('/checkout')
}

function Form() {
const [firstName, setFirstName] = useState('')
const [lastName, setLastName] = useState('')

// ✅ Good: calculated during rendering
const fullName = `${firstName} ${lastName}`

// ✅ Good: This logic runs because the component was displayed
useEffect(() => {
post('/analytics/event', { eventName: 'visit_form' })
}, [])

function handleSubmit(e) {
e.preventDefault()
// ✅ Good: Event-specific logic is in the event handler
post('/api/register', { firstName, lastName })
}
// ...
}

UseEffect Reference

  • useEffect complete guide.
  • useEffect usage guide.

UseLayoutEffect Hook

  • useLayoutEffect callback called synchronously (fires synchronously after all DOM mutations), substitute for componentDidMount lifecycle function: Update effect flags, HasEffect | Layout hook flags.
  • useEffect got invoked after componentDidMount asynchronously: Update | Passive effect flags, HasEffect | Passive hook flags.
  • Lifecycle of React component:
    • User interacts, props or state change.
    • React updates DOM.
    • useLayoutEffect hook fires.
    • Browser paints: visual changes are displayed to user.
    • useEffect hook fires.
  • If need to mutate DOM directly (visual changes to UI) or need to perform DOM measurements, useLayoutEffect is better than useEffect.
function mountLayoutEffect(
create: () => (() => void) | void,
deps: Array<mixed> | void | null
): void {
return mountEffectImpl(
UpdateEffect, // Fiber Flags
HookLayout, // Hook Flags
create,
deps
)
}

function mountEffect(
create: () => (() => void) | void,
deps: Array<mixed> | void | null
): void {
return mountEffectImpl(
UpdateEffect | PassiveEffect, // Fiber Flags
HookPassive, // Hook Flags
create,
deps
)
}

function updateLayoutEffect(
create: () => (() => void) | void,
deps: Array<mixed> | void | null
): void {
return updateEffectImpl(UpdateEffect, HookLayout, create, deps)
}

function updateEffect(
create: () => (() => void) | void,
deps: Array<mixed> | void | null
): void {
return updateEffectImpl(PassiveEffect, HookPassive, create, deps)
}

UseInsertionEffect Hook

useInsertionEffect allows CSS-in-JS libraries to address performance issues of injecting styles in render:

useInsertionEffect will run after the DOM is mutated, but before layout effects read the new layout.

function useCSS(rule) {
if (!canUseDOM)
collectedRulesSet.add(rule)

useInsertionEffect(() => {
if (!isInserted.has(rule)) {
isInserted.add(rule)
document.head.appendChild(getStyleForRule(rule))
}
})

return rule
}

export default function Component() {
const className = useCSS(rule)
return <div className={className} />
}

UseImperativeHandle Hook

interface MyInputHandles {
focus: () => void
}

const MyInput: RefForwardingComponent<MyInputHandles, MyInputProps> = (
props,
ref
) => {
const inputRef = useRef<HTMLInputElement>(null)

useImperativeHandle(ref, () => ({
focus: () => {
if (inputRef.current)
inputRef.current.focus()
},
}))

return <input {...props} ref={inputRef} />
}

const ForwardMyInput = React.forwardReft(MyInput)
export default ForwardMyInput

UseDebugValue Hook

function App() {
const date = new Date()
useDebugValue(date, date => date.toISOString())
}

UseDeferredValue Hook

Debounce:

import { useDeferredValue } from 'react'

export default function App() {
const [text, setText] = useState('hello')

// Debounced value.
const deferredText = useDeferredValue(text, { timeoutMs: 2000 })

return (
<div>
<input value={text} onChange={handleChange} />
<List text={deferredText} />
</div>
)
}

UseTransition Hook

startTransition 回调中的更新都会被认为是非紧急处理, 如果出现更紧急的更新 (User Input), 则上面的更新都会被中断, 直到没有其他紧急操作之后才会去继续执行更新.

Opt-in concurrent features (implementing debounce-like function):

import { useRef, useState, useTransition } from 'react'
import Spinner from './Spinner'

export default function App() {
const input = useRef('')
const [searchInputValue, setSearchInputValue] = useState('')
const [searchQuery, setSearchQuery] = useState('')
const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition()

// Urgent: show what was typed.
setSearchInputValue(input)

// Debounced callback.
startTransition(() => {
setSearchQuery(input)
})

return <div>{isPending && <Spinner />}</div>
}

UseId Hook

Generating unique IDs on client and server (每个 ID 代表该组件在组件树中的层级结构):

export default function Checkbox() {
const id = useId()

return (
<>
<label htmlFor={id}>Do you like React?</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="react" id={id} />
</>
)
}

UseSyncExternalStore Hook

Props/Context/useState/useReducer are internal states not affected by concurrent features.

External stores affected by concurrent features including:

  • Global variables:
    • document.body.
  • Date.
  • Redux store.
  • Zustand store.

useSyncExternalStore allows external stores to support concurrent reads by forcing updates to the store to be synchronous.

type UseSyncExternalStore = (
subscribe: (callback: Callback) => Unsubscribe,
getSnapshot: () => State
) => State

Sync Browser API

Sync navigator online API:

function subscribe(callback) {
window.addEventListener('online', callback)
window.addEventListener('offline', callback)
return () => {
window.removeEventListener('online', callback)
window.removeEventListener('offline', callback)
}
}

function useOnlineStatus() {
return useSyncExternalStore(
subscribe,
() => navigator.onLine,
() => true
)
}

function ChatIndicator() {
const isOnline = useOnlineStatus()
// ...
}

Sync Browser Event

Sync browser scroll event:

// A memoized constant fn prevents unsubscribe/resubscribe
// In practice it is not a big deal
function subscribe(onStoreChange) {
globalThis.window?.addEventListener('scroll', onStoreChange)
return () => globalThis.window?.removeEventListener('scroll', onStoreChange)
}

function useScrollY(selector = id => id) {
return useSyncExternalStore(
subscribe,
() => selector(globalThis.window?.scrollY),
() => undefined
)
}
export default function ScrollY() {
const scrollY = useScrollY()
return <div>{scrollY}</div>
}
export default function ScrollYFloored() {
const to = 100
const scrollYFloored = useScrollY(y =>
y ? Math.floor(y / to) * to : undefined
)
return <div>{scrollYFloored}</div>
}

Sync Browser Router

function useHistorySelector(selector) {
const history = useHistory()
return useSyncExternalStore(history.listen, () => selector(history))
}
export default function CurrentPathname() {
const pathname = useHistorySelector(history => history.location.pathname)
return <div>{pathname}</div>
}
export default function CurrentHash() {
const hash = useHistorySelector(history => history.location.hash)
return <div>{hash}</div>
}

Sync External State

Simple demo from React Conf 2021:

import { useSyncExternalStore } from 'react'

// We will also publish a backwards compatible shim
// It will prefer the native API, when available
import { useSyncExternalStore } from 'use-sync-external-store/shim'

const store = {
state: { count: 0 },
listeners: new Set(),
setState: (fn) => {
store.state = fn(store.state)
store.listeners.forEach(listener => listener())
},
subscribe: (callback) => {
store.listeners.add(callback)
return () => store.listeners.delete(callback)
},
getSnapshot: () => {
const snap = Object.freeze(store.state)
return snap
},
}

export default function App() {
// Basic usage. getSnapshot must return a cached/memoized result
const state = useSyncExternalStore(store.subscribe, store.getSnapshot)

// Selecting a specific field using an inline getSnapshot
const selectedField = useSyncExternalStore(
store.subscribe,
() => store.getSnapshot().count
)

return (
<div>
{state.count}
{selectedField}
</div>
)
}

Migrate from useState + useEffect + useRef to useSyncExternalStore for 3rd external stores libraries (e.g Redux):

import React, { useCallback, useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { useSyncExternalStore } from 'use-sync-external-store/shim'

function createStore(initialState) {
let state = initialState
const listeners = new Set()

const getState = () => state
const setState = (fn) => {
state = fn(state)
listeners.forEach(listener => listener())
}
const subscribe = (listener) => {
listeners.add(listener)
return () => listeners.delete(listener)
}

return {
getState,
setState,
subscribe,
}
}

// Explicitly process external store for React v17.
// Sync external store state to React internal state
// with `useState` and `store.subscribe`:
// store.setState -> updater -> setState.
function useStoreLegacy(store, selector) {
const [state, setState] = useState(selector(store.getState()))

useEffect(() => {
const updater = () => setState(selector(store.getState()))
const unsubscribe = store.subscribe(updater)
updater()
return unsubscribe
}, [store, selector])

return state
}

// Use `useSyncExternalStore` for React v18+.
function useStore(store, selector) {
return useSyncExternalStore(
store.subscribe,
useCallback(() => selector(store.getState()), [store, selector])
)
}

const store = createStore({ count: 0, text: 'hello' })

function Counter() {
const count = useStore(
store,
useCallback(state => state.count, [])
)

const handleClick = () =>
store.setState(state => ({ ...state, count: state.count + 1 }))

return (
<div>
{count}
<button onClick={handleClick}>+1</button>
</div>
)
}

function TextBox() {
const text = useStore(
store,
useCallback(state => state.text, [])
)

const handleChange = (event) => {
store.setState(state => ({ ...state, text: event.target.value }))
}

return (
<div>
<input type="text" value={text} onChange={handleChange} />
</div>
)
}

export default function App() {
return (
<div>
<Counter />
<Counter />
<TextBox />
<TextBox />
</div>
)
}

React.createRoot(document.querySelector('#root')).render(<App />)

UseEvent Hook

Extracting non-reactive logic out of useEffect, put them into useEvent, call useEvent from inside useEffect:

import { useCallback, useEffect, useInsertionEffect, useRef } from 'react'

function useEvent(fn) {
const ref = useRef(null)
useInsertionEffect(() => {
ref.current = fn
}, [fn])
return useCallback((...args) => {
const f = ref.current // Get latest snapshot, break out closure.
return f(...args)
}, [])
}

function ChatRoom({ roomId, theme }) {
const onConnected = useEvent((connectedRoomId) => {
// Non-reactive to `theme`.
showNotification(`Welcome to ${connectedRoomId}`, theme)
})

useEffect(() => {
const connection = createConnection(serverUrl, roomId)
connection.on('connected', () => {
onConnected(roomId)
})
connection.connect()
return () => connection.disconnect()
}, [roomId, onConnected]) // Linter will allow [roomId] in the future.
}

Event functions let you split an Effect into reactive parts (which should "react" to reactive values and their changes) and non-reactive parts (which only read their latest values).

Custom Recoil Hook

Recoil minimal implementation:

  • Atom: collect children callbacks as listeners, notify children when value changed.
  • Selector: collect parent Atoms as deps, update value when parent Atoms notified.
interface Disconnector {
disconnect: () => void
}

class Stateful<T> {
private listeners = new Set<(value: T) => void>()

constructor(private value: T) {}

protected _update(value: T) {
this.value = value
this.notify()
}

snapshot(): T {
return this.value
}

notify() {
for (const listener of this.listeners) listener(this.snapshot())
}

subscribe(callback: (value: T) => void): Disconnector {
this.listeners.add(callback)
return {
disconnect: () => {
this.listeners.delete(callback)
},
}
}
}

class Atom<T> extends Stateful<T> {
update(value: T) {
super._update(value)
}
}

interface GeneratorContext {
get: <V>(dependency: Stateful<V>) => V
}

type SelectorGenerator<T> = (context: GeneratorContext) => T

export class Selector<T> extends Stateful<T> {
private registeredDeps = new Set<Stateful>()

constructor(private readonly generate: SelectorGenerator<T>) {
super(undefined as any)
const context = { get: dep => this.getDep(dep) }
this.value = generate(context)
}

private getDep<V>(dep: Stateful<V>): V {
if (!this.registeredDeps.has(dep)) {
// Update when parent Atom changed.
dep.subscribe(() => this.updateSelector())
this.registeredDeps.add(dep)
}

return dep.snapshot()
}

private updateSelector() {
const context = { get: dep => this.getDep(dep) }
this.update(this.generate(context))
}
}

export function atom<V>(value: { key: string, default: V }): Atom<V> {
return new Atom(value.default)
}

export function selector<V>(value: {
key: string
get: SelectorGenerator<V>
}): Selector<V> {
return new Selector(value.get)
}

// This hook will re-render whenever supplied `Stateful` value changes.
// It can be used with `Selector` or `Atom`.
export function useCoiledValue<T>(value: Stateful<T>): T {
const [, updateState] = useState({})

// Force update when value changed.
useEffect(() => {
const { disconnect } = value.subscribe(() => updateState({}))
return () => disconnect()
}, [value])

return value.snapshot()
}

// Similar to above method, but it also lets set state.
// It only can be used with `Atom`.
export function useCoiledState<T>(atom: Atom<T>): [T, (value: T) => void] {
const value = useCoiledValue(atom)
return [value, useCallback(value => atom.update(value), [atom])]
}
function generate(context) {
// Register NameAtom as a dependency and get its snapshot value:
// get(nameAtom) => selector.getDep(nameAtom)
// => nameAtom.subscribe(() => selector.updateSelector) + selector.deps.add(nameAtom)
const name = context.get(nameAtom)
// Do the same for AgeAtom
const age = context.get(ageAtom)

// Return new value using parent atoms.
// E.g. 'Bob is 20 years old'.
return `${name} is ${age} years old.`
}

Custom Atom Hook

Simple global store based on:

  • Subscribe pattern.
  • UseState hook.
import type { Dispatch, MutableRefObject, SetStateAction } from 'react'
import { useEffect, useRef, useState } from 'react'
import { nanoid } from 'nanoid'

const store = new Map<string, any>()

class Atom<T> {
key = nanoid()
subscribers = new Map<
MutableRefObject<boolean>,
Dispatch<SetStateAction<T>>
>()

private _current: T

constructor(initialState: T) {
store.set(this.key, initialState)
this._current = initialState
}

subscribe(
ref: MutableRefObject<boolean>,
action: Dispatch<SetStateAction<T>>
) {
this.subscribers.set(ref, action)
}

unsubscribe(ref: MutableRefObject<boolean>) {
this.subscribers.delete(ref)
}

setState(nextState: T) {
this._current = nextState
store.set(this.key, nextState)
this.subscribers.forEach(action => action(nextState))
}

get current() {
return this._current
}
}

export const atom = <T>(initialState: T) => new Atom(initialState)

export function useAtomValue<T>(atom: Atom<T>) {
const ref = useRef(false)
const [state, setState] = useState(atom.current)

if (ref.current === false) {
ref.current = true
atom.subscribe(ref, setState)
}

useMount(() => () => atom.unsubscribe(ref))

return state
}

export function setAtomValue<T>(atom: Atom<T>) {
return (nextState: T) => atom.setState(nextState)
}

Hooks Best Practice

如果将一个函数任意地将其放在 useEffect Deps List 中 可能会导致重复无意义的 useEffect 执行 (因为每次 render 期间的此函数都会重新定义). 有两个解决办法:

  • 对于被多次复用 Utils 函数 (且不依赖组件的任何值), 应该提到组件外面的公共区域去定义.
  • 对于只被特定 Effect Hook 调用的 Utils 函数, 可以放到 useEffect 内部定义.
  • 对于其他需要在组件内(或自定义 Hooks 内)定义的函数, 可使用 useCallback 包裹函数, 并设置正确的 Deps List, 尽可能地减少 render 时重新定义此函数.
// ✅ Not affected by the data flow
function getFetchUrl(query) {
return `https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?query=${query}`
}

function SearchResults() {
useEffect(() => {
const url = getFetchUrl('react')
// ... Fetch data and do something ...
}, []) // ✅ Deps are OK

useEffect(() => {
const url = getFetchUrl('redux')
// ... Fetch data and do something ...
}, []) // ✅ Deps are OK

// ...
}
  • Don't forget to cleanup side effects (return function in useEffect)
  • Set correct deps list for useEffect:
    • avoid object deps (should use object property).
    • enough deps list to avoid infinite loop rendering pitfall.
    • enough deps list to avoid stale closure.
  • setState(state => state + 1) is better (avoid outdated state).
  • Change useState to useRef when values not for rendering.
  • Don't put any if statement before hooks function.
  • Only call Hooks at the top level (don't inside loops, conditions or nested functions).
  • Only call Hooks from React function components.
