useShallowEffect

useEffect with shallow comparison.

Import


import { useShallowEffect } from '@tidbcloud/uikit'

Usage

useShallowEffect works like useEffect, but does a shallow comparison on dependencies instead of reference equality.


import { useState } from 'react'
import { useShallowEffect } from '@tidbcloud/uikit'
import { Button, Text } from '@tidbcloud/uikit'
 
function Demo() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
 
  // This effect will run only when { value: count } has different shallow values
  // With useEffect, it would run on every render since the object is recreated
  useShallowEffect(() => {
    console.log('Effect ran with', { value: count })
  }, [{ value: count }])
 
  return (
    <>
      <Text>Count: {count}</Text>
      <Button onClick={() => setCount((c) => c + 1)}>Increment</Button>
    </>
  )
}

When to Use

Use useShallowEffect when:

Dependencies are objects or arrays that are recreated on each render
You want to compare by value, not reference
You need to avoid unnecessary effect executions
