Welcome to how not to use UseEffect. UseEffect is a hook introduced in React 16.8 as a replacement for component dismount and update in class components. It runs your callback once when the component mounts and when there are changes in dependencies. UseEffect allows performing side effects such as fetching data. UseEffect executes its callback asynchronously to allow the browser to render and show something to the user without blocking the main thread. Setting a state in a useEffect without a dependency array can cause nasty loops. Sometimes you are using use effects to take care of calling parent events. Nasty Fetch. Sometimes, when fetching articles, loading and race conditions need to be considered.
