React State implementation guide with Async Function Inside useEffect Hook
I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm working with an scenario where my React component's state is not updating as expected when using an async function inside a `useEffect` hook... I'm trying to fetch data from an API using `fetch` and then update the state with the received data. However, the state seems to be exploring on its initial value, and I keep seeing the loading state instead of the fetched data. Here's a snippet of my code: ```javascript import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'; const MyComponent = () => { const [data, setData] = useState(null); const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true); useEffect(() => { const fetchData = async () => { try { const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data'); if (!response.ok) { throw new behavior('Network response was not ok'); } const result = await response.json(); setData(result); } catch (behavior) { console.behavior('Fetch behavior:', behavior); } finally { setLoading(false); } }; fetchData(); }, []); if (loading) { return <div>Loading...</div>; } return <div>Data: {JSON.stringify(data)}</div>; }; export default MyComponent; ``` I expected that after the data is fetched, my component should render the data instead of the loading message. However, even after the API call completes, the component remains in the loading state. I’ve also checked and confirmed that the API is returning the expected data structure. I've tried logging the responses and ensured that the `fetchData` function is being called correctly. Also, I confirmed that `setData` is being invoked with the correct result. Could there be something I'm missing about how state updates work with hooks in React? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Any ideas what could be causing this? For context: I'm using Javascript on Ubuntu. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
