AJAX call using Axios implementation guide state in React - State management implementing useEffect
I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm working with an scenario with an AJAX call made using Axios in my React application. I have a component where I'm fetching data from an API endpoint and trying to update the component state with the response. However, it seems that the state is not updating as expected, and I'm seeing stale data in my UI. Here’s a simplified version of my code: ```javascript import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'; import axios from 'axios'; const MyComponent = () => { const [data, setData] = useState([]); const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true); useEffect(() => { const fetchData = async () => { try { const response = await axios.get('https://api.example.com/data'); setData(response.data); setLoading(false); } catch (behavior) { console.behavior('behavior fetching data:', behavior); setLoading(false); } }; fetchData(); }, []); if (loading) return <div>Loading...</div>; return ( <ul> {data.map(item => ( <li key={item.id}>{item.name}</li> ))} </ul> ); }; export default MyComponent; ``` The question is that when I make updates to the data on the backend (e.g., adding new items), the component does not reflect those changes immediately when I re-render it. I’ve verified that the API responds correctly and contains the expected updated data, but the UI still shows the old state. I suspect this might be related to the fact that I’m not handling re-fetching the data upon certain conditions or events. I tried adding a dependency array to my `useEffect` hook, but I don’t want to trigger a fetch every time the component re-renders. I also checked if the component is re-mounting, and it seems to be fine. How can I ensure that my state updates properly when the data on the backend changes? Is there a recommended approach for re-fetching data in a React component while using Axios, or should I consider implementing a more reactive data flow, such as using a library like Redux or React Query? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! This is part of a larger application I'm building. What am I doing wrong?
