    useEffect Explained: Using a Smart Home Analogy to Ace Your React Interview

    Frontend 884 Comments2 Mins ReadAdnan Ali Ba OsmanBy

    Ever wondered what it would be like if your React component was a smart home? 🏡

    Well, if it were, useEffect would be the automation system, making sure you don’t have to run around flipping switches or adjusting thermostats. Because who has time for that, right?

    ➡ useState: The Devices in Your Smart Home

    First, let’s talk about useState. Think of it as the various devices in your smart home, like lights, thermostats, and security cameras. These devices can be turned on, off, or adjusted as needed. Just like you decide whether the lights should be on or off, useState helps you decide and manage the current state of your component.

    ➡ useEffect: The Automation System

    Now, think of useEffect as the automation system that controls these devices based on certain conditions or events. For example, when it gets dark, the lights turn on automatically. When the temperature changes, the thermostat adjusts itself. Similarly, useEffect runs specific tasks when certain state variables change or when the component first loads.

    🔄 The Power of Automation

    Just like your smart home’s automation system ensures the lights turn on when it gets dark and off when it’s light again, useEffect ensures that your component performs necessary tasks whenever the relevant state changes or when the component is initialized.

    So next time you’re working with useEffect, just imagine you’re setting up the perfect smart home — no need to run around making manual adjustments. Let useEffect handle the side effects for you, keeping everything running smoothly.

      My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      President Donald Trump tried to hold his MAGA coalition together Monday morning, urging
      supporters to not ‘be a PANICAN.’ 

      Trump rolled out the new term and described it as a ‘new party based on Weak and Stupid people!’ 

      He then, again, doubled down on his tariff policy. 

      ‘The United States has a chance to do someting that
      should have been done DECADES AGO,’ the president posted to
      Truth Social. ‘Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN …

      Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be a result!’  

      The demand came as a new MAGA civil war appeared to be breaking out. 

      Over the weekend, DOGE leader Elon Musk was
      publicly critical of Trump’s trade adviser Peter Navarro
      and pushed that the U.S. and Europe needed to move toward a
      ‘zero-tariff situation.’ 

      Currently Trump plans to apply a 20 percent tariff onto imports from the European Union, while
      imports from the United Kingdom would get hit with a 10 percent import tax. 

      Musk also took a dig at Navarro’s Harvard education, calling it a ‘bad thing, not a good thing,’ and said that
      the longtime Trump trade adviser ‘ain’t built s***. 

      President Donald Trump (left) is trying to hold his
      MAGA coalition together, as DOGE leader Elon Musk (right) expressed doubts about the tariff plan 

      Trump posted to Truth Social Monday morning telling
      advisers and supporters: ‘Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party
      based on Weak and Stupid people!).’ 

      In turn, Navarro described Musk as a ‘car salesman’ during an interview
      on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures and said Musk was being critical of the Trump tariffs due to his own business interests. 

      ‘He’s got X. He’s got a big microphone. We don’t mind him saying whatever he
      wants, but the American people need to understand that we know what this is all
      about,’ Navarro said. 

      ‘Elon, when he’s in his DOGE lane, is great. But
      we understand what is going on here. Elon sells cars,’
      Navarro added. 

      There was already a MAGA divide between Musk and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who
      at one point referred to the DOGE leader as a ‘parasitic illegal immigrant.’ 

      Other MAGA voices who have been critical of the Trump tariff
      plan include The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro.

      During Friday’s episode of his podcast Shapiro called the tariffs ‘probably unconstitutional’ and ‘pretty
      crazy.’ 

      MAGA billionaire Bill Ackman penned an eyebrow-raising warning Sunday night.

      ‘The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff
      system. Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear
      winter, and we should start hunkering down,’ Ackman wrote on X.

      ‘May cooler heads prevail.’

      Trade adviser Peter Navarro (right) on Sunday slammed Elon Musk on Fox News,
      calling him a ‘car salesman’ and pushing that Musk is
      critical of Trump’s tariff plan due to his own financial interests

      Ackman also accused Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick of benefiting
      financially from the stock market crash – a comment he later apologized for.  

      A handful of Republican senators have also warned against Trump’s tariff policy.

      Notably, Sen. Ted Cruz, who’s generally supportive of Trump’s agenda, knocked the tariff plan. 

      ‘Tariffs are a tax on consumers, and I’m not a fan of jacking up taxes on American consumers,’
      Cruz said Thursday on Fox Business. ‘So my hope is these tariffs are short-lived and they serve as leverage to lower tariffs across the globe.’
