I would suggest to add Case 3 for useEffect() hook mentioning clean-up function (the return function). Use case example: When you need to refresh a particular component let's say every 5 minutes then you would set the interval in useEffect as usual but to clear the interval which should be done in this clean-up return function (similar to componentWillUnmount class component lifecycle method). I'd recommend a short article on this, by Martín Mato - dev.to/otamnitram/react-useeffect-...

Overall, nice and concise article. Thanks for this quick read!
