A set of React hooks to help prevent re-render loops and stabilize dependencies.
npm install react-stable-hooksReact Stable Hooks
A collection of React hooks designed to help prevent common re-render loops and stabilize dependencies, improving your application's performance.
The Problem
A common source of bugs and performance issues in React is the re-render loop. This often happens when using the useEffect hook with dependencies that are objects or arrays. Because JavaScript creates a new reference for objects and arrays on every render, useEffect's shallow comparison thinks the dependency has changed, causing the effect to run again, which might set state, causing another re-render, and so on.
// This component will log "Effect is running!" on every single render,
// even though the options object is structurally identical.
function MyComponent() {
const options = { enabled: true }; // New object on every render
useEffect(() => {
console.log('Effect is running!');
}, [options]); // options is always a new object, so this always runs
return
options.enabled actually changes.
