How to implement guide with settimeout not executing after async function in react component
After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out... I'm working with an scenario where a `setTimeout` call isn't executing as expected after an asynchronous operation in my React component. I'm using React 17 and trying to implement a functionality where I fetch some data when the component mounts, and then I want to delay the display of a message for 2 seconds after the fetch is completed. However, the timeout callback is never invoked. Here’s the relevant part of my code: ```javascript import React, { useEffect } from 'react'; const MyComponent = () => { useEffect(() => { const fetchData = async () => { const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data'); const data = await response.json(); console.log('Data fetched:', data); setTimeout(() => { console.log('Timeout executed!'); }, 2000); }; fetchData(); }, []); return <div>Loading data...</div>; }; export default MyComponent; ``` When I run this code, I can see the fetched data in the console, but the message from the `setTimeout` never appears. I've checked to make sure that the fetch call is actually completing, and it is. I also tried moving `setTimeout` outside the async function, but that leads to the timeout executing immediately instead of waiting for the fetch. Is there something I'm missing here? Could it be related to React’s lifecycle, or am I misunderstanding how `setTimeout` works in conjunction with async functions? Any insights would be appreciated! Has anyone else encountered this? I'm developing on Debian with Javascript. I'd be grateful for any help.
