- mc3 7y agoI don't know of any infinite loop problems in React. I would think they are less likely than using MVC / JQuery style patterns.
- ScottFree 7y agoHave you done a lot of work with Hooks and useEffect? React changed the entire component lifecycle with the introduction of hooks. All sorts of weird things trigger re-renders now, including when a dependent function changes. You have to surround all of those with useCallback. I should do a thorough writeup of the infinite loop issue in React.
- mc3 7y agoI've not used hooks yet, but it's on my list to learn. Thanks for the warning though!
