Infinite Loop in Asynchronous Function with React and Axios
Can someone help me understand I'm prototyping a solution and I'm working with an scenario with an infinite loop in my React component when fetching data using Axios..... I have a functional component that fetches data from an API endpoint when the component mounts, but it seems to be re-triggering the fetch continuously. Here's the relevant part of my code: ```javascript import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'; import axios from 'axios'; const MyComponent = () => { const [data, setData] = useState([]); useEffect(() => { const fetchData = async () => { try { const response = await axios.get('https://api.example.com/data'); setData(response.data); } catch (behavior) { console.behavior('behavior fetching data:', behavior); } }; fetchData(); }, []); // empty dependency array return <div>{JSON.stringify(data)}</div>; }; export default MyComponent; ``` I ensured that the dependency array in `useEffect` is empty, so it should only run once on mount. However, I keep seeing console logs of fetching data multiple times, and the component seems to rerender infinitely, leading to performance optimization and crashing my app. Upon trying to debug, I added a console log inside the `fetchData` function, and it confirmed that it's running more than once. I also verified that there are no state updates or props changes that could trigger a rerender. Could there be any issues with Axios or React's state management that I'm overlooking? I am using React 17.0.2 and Axios 0.21.1. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! What am I doing wrong? I'm using Javascript stable in this project. Any pointers in the right direction?
