Debug this React useEffect infinite loop
Debug#React#useEffect#Debug#InfiniteLoop
Use Case
Analyze react dependency arrays and state setters that cause rendering loops, and resolve them.
Prompt Template
Analyze this React component which is causing an infinite rendering loop: [paste component]. Identify: 1. Which state change inside the useEffect hook is triggering the re-render. 2. What dependencies in the dependency array are unstable (e.g., object references, inline functions, array arrays). 3. Provide the corrected component using refactored handlers, useCallback, useMemo, or setting state conditionally to avoid loops.
Effect & Tips
Saves hours of troubleshooting React state loops.
