Introducing useEffectEvent: A solution to the stale closure problem

🧠 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆’𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 I’ve always known what a closure is... but I realized today — I’ve never really used one consciously in my React or Next.js apps. 🤔 So I asked myself — 👉 Where do closures actually show up in real projects? Turns out, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. ✅ In debounce or throttle functions to delay API calls ✅ In custom hooks that remember previous values ✅ In event listeners where inner functions access parent state ✅ In private variables that survive outside their original scope Closures are one of those 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬 of JavaScript — you might not notice them, but they’re powering your code behind the scenes every day. ⚡ #TodayILearned #JavaScript #React #Nextjs #FrontendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #LearningInPublic #Closures #DevJourney

🚀 Mastering Memory Leaks in React.js Understanding memory leaks in React.js helps you build faster, more stable, and high-performing apps. Leaks often happen when components don’t clean up properly — like forgotten event listeners, unclosed subscriptions, unresolved async calls, or running timers. #ReactJS #JavaScript #React #WebDev #Frontend #MemoryLeaks #CleanCode #Performance #CodingTips

🧠 Stop Unnecessary Re-renders in React (with Real Examples) Ever wrapped a component in React.memo — and it still re-renders? 😩 You’re not alone! The culprit is often inline functions or objects 👇 React compares props by reference, not by value. Inline functions/objects = new reference = re-render. Keep your components memoized — and your app smooth ⚡ #React #ReactJS #FrontendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #JavaScript #ReactPerformance #PerformanceOptimization #ReactMemo #useCallback #useMemo #FrontendEngineer #CodingTips #LearnReact

Ever feel like your React components are getting too cluttered with state and effects? Enter **React’s useReducer hook** — the unsung hero for managing complex state logic! 🎉 Instead of juggling multiple useState calls, useReducer lets you centralize your state updates in one place, making your code cleaner and easier to debug. It works just like Redux but right inside your component without extra setup! Pro tip: Combine useReducer with Context API for scalable and maintainable state management in medium to large apps. Your future self will thank you 😉 Ready to simplify your state? Try it out and watch your React skills level up! #ReactJS #ReactHooks #WebDevelopment #JavaScript #Frontend #CodingTips #DevCommunity

🚀 React 19.2 Released! The React team has rolled out React 19.2 (Oct 1 2025) — packed with helpful new features like <Activity />, useEffectEvent, and cacheSignal, plus improvements to server-rendering and performance. No big breaking changes = smooth upgrade path ✅ Time to update and keep your React apps sharper, faster & more stable! #ReactJS #WebDevelopment #Frontend #JavaScript #React19

⚛️ React Revision – Day 2 Today’s focus: mastering the useState hook. It’s one of those core React concepts that seem simple — until you realize it’s what drives every dynamic interaction on your app. I revised how useState works under the hood, how state re-renders components, and how to handle updates efficiently (especially when state depends on previous values). Once you truly understand state — props, reactivity, and component logic all start making sense. Here’s to small fundamentals that power big applications 💪 #ReactJS #WebDevelopment #FrontendDevelopment #JavaScript #100DaysOfCode #CodingJourney #BuildingInPublic

🔥 Next.js isn’t just a framework anymore — it’s a flex. Between server actions, React 19 features, and that buttery routing experience, it’s starting to feel like cheating to build full-stack apps this fast. Every time I spin up a new project, I realize: 👉 API routes? Built in. 👉 Server-side rendering? Effortless. 👉 Edge deployment? One click. 👉 DX? Unreal. Next.js 15 (or whatever version you're using) feels less like coding and more like having superpowers. 💡 If your stack still feels like duct-taping a backend to a frontend, it might be time to give Next.js another look. Curious: 🚀 What’s the one Next.js feature that blew your mind recently? Or… what’s still driving you crazy about it?

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗽𝗽 Have you ever had that bizarre bug in your React app that vanishes when you reload the page? I’ve been there. Most times, it’s because the state got mutated directly without creating a new copy. React depends on state immutability to know when to re-render.Instead of pushing directly to arrays or changing objects, try this: setState(prev => [...prev, newItem]); It feels a little weird at first, but trust me—it makes your UI rock solid and your bugs way fewer. #ReactJS #WebDevelopment #FrontEnd #JavaScript #CodeTips

⚛️ Server Components Takeover — Will Client-Side React Survive? React Server Components (RSC) are changing the game! Instead of sending all the JavaScript to the browser, React now lets parts of your app run entirely on the server — reducing bundle size, improving load time, and making rendering more efficient. But don’t worry — Client Components aren’t going anywhere. They’ll still handle interactivity, user events, and dynamic UI updates. The real power lies in combining both — using Server Components for heavy lifting and Client Components for rich interactions. React’s future isn’t about replacing one — it’s about balance ⚖️ #ReactJS #ServerComponents #NextJS #WebDevelopment #Frontend #JavaScript #ReactLearning #Performance #Coding #TechCommunity
