implementing Updating State in React with useEffect on Nested Object Changes
Quick question that's been bugging me - I've hit a wall trying to I'm working with an scenario where my React component doesn't re-render as expected when I update a nested object in state using `useEffect`. My state structure looks like this: ```javascript const [data, setData] = useState({ user: { name: 'John', age: 30 }, active: true }); ``` I have an `useEffect` hook that is supposed to trigger when the `name` property of the `user` object changes: ```javascript useEffect(() => { console.log('User name changed:', data.user.name); }, [data.user.name]); ``` However, when I update the name using: ```javascript const updateName = () => { setData(prevData => ({ ...prevData, user: { ...prevData.user, name: 'Doe' }})); }; ``` The `useEffect` hook does not trigger. Instead, it logs the old value. I've also tried using `data.user` as a dependency, but that results in a continuous loop because every update causes it to re-render. Here's the behavior I see in the console: `Warning: Maximum update depth exceeded. This can happen when a component repeatedly calls setState inside component render.` I checked the React version I'm using, which is 17.0.2, and I've also confirmed that the `setData` function is called correctly. Is there a better way to handle state updates for nested objects while ensuring my `useEffect` behaves as expected? Any help would be appreciated! I'd be grateful for any help. This issue appeared after updating to Javascript stable. Thanks, I really appreciate it!
