If we give a component a key prop Reacts sees it as a different profile if this component changes.
To avoid those changes of props:
export default function ProfilePage({ userId }) {
const [comment, setComment] = useState('')
// 🔴 Avoid: Resetting state on prop change in an Effect
useEffect(() => {
setComment('')
}, [userId])
}
We could use the key attribute.
export default function ProfilePage({ userId }) {
return (
<Profile
userId={userId}
key={userId}
/>
);
}
function Profile({ userId }) {
// ✅ This and any other state below will reset on key change automatically
const [comment, setComment] = useState('');
}
