React Hook Function Not Updating State as Expected When Using useEffect
I'm stuck trying to I can't seem to get I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I have a React component that uses `useEffect` to update state based on changes in props, but it seems the state is not updating as expected. Here’s a simplified version of my component: ```javascript import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; const MyComponent = ({ initialCount }) => { const [count, setCount] = useState(initialCount); useEffect(() => { setCount(initialCount); }, [initialCount]); const handleClick = () => { setCount(prevCount => prevCount + 1); }; return ( <div> <p>Count: {count}</p> <button onClick={handleClick}>Increment</button> </div> ); }; export default MyComponent; ``` The intention is that whenever `initialCount` changes, the `count` state should reflect this change. However, I'm noticing that if I change `initialCount` in the parent component, the `count` in `MyComponent` does not update accordingly. I've confirmed that `initialCount` is indeed changing in the parent by logging its value before rendering `MyComponent`. I also tried adding a dependency array to `useEffect`, but it still doesn't seem to react to changes as I expected. Here’s how the parent component looks: ```javascript const ParentComponent = () => { const [count, setCount] = useState(0); return ( <div> <MyComponent initialCount={count} /> <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Change Initial Count</button> </div> ); }; ``` I’ve also tried using `useRef` to track `initialCount` changes, but that hasn’t helped either. The expected behavior is that when the button in `ParentComponent` is clicked, `initialCount` should change, and thus `count` should update accordingly in `MyComponent`. But instead, it just keeps the previous state of `count`. Am I missing something, or is there an issue with how state updates are being handled in this case? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! This is part of a larger application I'm building. This issue appeared after updating to Javascript 3.11. I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on Debian. This issue appeared after updating to Javascript 3.9. What would be the recommended way to handle this?
