React patterns: Clean up effect when component unmounts
4 September 2022 (Updated 26 April 2024)
If you return a function from your useEffect
hook, React will call this function before the component is removed from the DOM. If a component re-renders (as they typically do), the previous effect is cleaned up before executing the next effect.
