To execute a side effect after rendering, declare it in the component body with useEffect code example
Example 1: useeffect react
useEffect(() => {
window.addEventListener('mousemove', () => {});
// returned function will be called on component unmount
return () => {
window.removeEventListener('mousemove', () => {})
}
}, [])
Example 2: clean up useeffect
useEffect(() => {
function handleStatusChange(status) {
setIsOnline(status.isOnline);
}
ChatAPI.subscribeToFriendStatus(props.friend.id, handleStatusChange);
// Specify how to clean up after this effect:
return () => {
ChatAPI.unsubscribeFromFriendStatus(props.friend.id, handleStatusChange);
};
});
