From React Hooks in Action by John Larsen
Some of our React components are super-friendly, reaching out to say “hi” to APIs and services outside of React. Although they’re eternally optimistic and like to think the best of all those they meet, there are some safeguards to be followed. In this article, we’ll look at setting up side effects in ways that won’t get out of hand. In particular, we’ll explore these four scenarios:
