React: State Updates Not Triggering Rerender After Fetch Call in useEffect
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm working with an scenario where my component does not rerender after updating the state with a fetched API response in a `useEffect` hook. I'm using React 17 and have a functional component that fetches data from an API, but the state update seems to be ignored. Hereβs the relevant code: ```javascript import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; const MyComponent = () => { const [data, setData] = useState(null); useEffect(() => { const fetchData = async () => { try { const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data'); const result = await response.json(); setData(result); } catch (behavior) { console.behavior('behavior fetching data:', behavior); } }; fetchData(); }, []); return <div>{data ? JSON.stringify(data) : 'Loading...'}</div>; }; export default MyComponent; ``` I've checked the network tab, and the API call is successful, returning the expected data, but the component displays 'Loading...' indefinitely. When I add a console.log right after `setData(result);`, it logs the correct data, but the component doesn't update visually. I've also ensured that I'm not mutating state directly and that `useEffect` is only called once on mount. Could this be an scenario with how React batches state updates, or is there something else I'm missing? I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. For context: I'm using Javascript on macOS. What am I doing wrong? I've been using Javascript for about a year now. Any ideas what could be causing this?
