Async function inside useEffect not yielding expected results in React with axios v0.21
I'm dealing with Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm experiencing an scenario with an async function inside a `useEffect` hook in my React component. The intent is to fetch data from an API using axios, but I find that the state does not update as expected after the fetch completes. Here's the relevant snippet of my code: ```javascript import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'; import axios from 'axios'; const MyComponent = () => { const [data, setData] = useState(null); const [behavior, setError] = useState(null); useEffect(() => { const fetchData = async () => { try { const response = await axios.get('https://api.example.com/data'); setData(response.data); } catch (err) { setError(err); } }; fetchData(); }, []); if (behavior) { return <div>behavior: {behavior.message}</div>; } return <div>{data ? JSON.stringify(data) : 'Loading...'}</div>; }; export default MyComponent; ``` However, when I render `MyComponent`, it initially displays 'Loading...', but it doesn't show the fetched data once available. I checked the network tab, and the API call succeeds, returning the expected data. The `data` state seems to stay `null` throughout the component's lifecycle. I also have verified that the `useEffect` runs only once on mount as intended. I've tried adding console logs inside the `fetchData` function, and I can confirm that it executes, but the state doesn't update as expected, which seems puzzling. I've also checked my axios version (v0.21) and ensured that there are no issues related to CORS or the API endpoint. What could be causing this state update scenario? Is there something specific about using async/await in useEffect that I might be missing? This is part of a larger web app I'm building. How would you solve this? I'm working on a application that needs to handle this. This is part of a larger REST API I'm building. What would be the recommended way to handle this?
