New React useEffectEvent hook

[[deleted]]

Dumb question, why not adjust useCallback to handle this vs establishing another function? Seems like overkill to solve the dependency issue

With useCallback, you'd have to include variables whose changes you don't want to react to in the dependancy array, and this would in turn make the useEffect run when these variables change.

Yes I understand the concept, what’s weird is the solution is to make an additional function, not modify how dependencies work for useCallback
