why dont we do this in the useEffect?
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react"; const useDebounce = (data, delay) => { const [debouncedData, setDebouncedData] = useState(data); var timerID; useEffect(() => { if(timerID){ clearTimeout(timerID) } console.log("debounce executed"); timerID = setTimeout(() => { setDebouncedData(data); }, delay); // return () => { //clearTimeout(timerID); //}; }, [data.blogTitle, data.blogDescription]); return debouncedData; }; export default useDebounce;
i tried this but the cleartimeout was not working, the timeout was not being cleared, i didnt understand the reason.
can anyone explain?
