useUpdateEffect

React effect hook that ignores the first invocation (e.g. on mount). The signature is exactly the same as the useEffect hook.

Usage

const Demo = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  const [effectCount, setEffectCount] = useState(0);
  const [updateEffectCount, setUpdateEffectCount] = useState(0);

  useEffect(() => {
    setEffectCount(c => c + 1);
  }, [count]);

  useUpdateEffect(() => {
    setUpdateEffectCount(c => c + 1);
    return () => {
      // do something
    };
  }, [count]); // you can include deps array if necessary

  return (
    <div>
      <p>effectCount: {effectCount}</p>
      <p>updateEffectCount: {updateEffectCount}</p>
      <p>
        <button type="button" onClick={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}>
          reRender
        </button>
      </p>
    </div>
  );
};

Example

effectCount: 0

updateEffectCount: 0
