React component not re-rendering after state update with async function in useEffect
I'm optimizing some code but I recently switched to I've been researching this but I'm upgrading from an older version and Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... I'm working with an scenario where my React component is not re-rendering when I update the state inside an async function called in the `useEffect` hook. I'm using React 17 and the component fetches some data from an API and updates the state with it. However, after the state update, the component doesn't re-render and displays stale data. The async function looks like this: ```javascript import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; const MyComponent = () => { const [data, setData] = useState(null); useEffect(() => { const fetchData = async () => { const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data'); const result = await response.json(); setData(result); }; fetchData(); }, []); return <div>{data ? JSON.stringify(data) : 'Loading...'}</div>; }; export default MyComponent; ``` I also verified that the data is being fetched correctly by logging it to the console. Yet, I often see the component displaying 'Loading...' indefinitely. Sometimes it works after a hard refresh, but that’s not ideal. I've checked that my fetch function is working and that there are no errors in the console. I suspect it might be related to how I'm handling the async function within `useEffect`, but I'm not sure. Is there something I'm missing here? Any insights would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions would be helpful. How would you solve this? This is for a service running on Ubuntu 22.04. I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on macOS. What am I doing wrong?
