在 useEffect 钩子中添加依赖会导致无限循环

Question

I have a wrapper component around a search bar that fetches suggestions with each keystroke and then searches either when a suggestion is chosen or the user hits enter/search. Upon choosing a search value, I want to persist that search item to local storage, so that I can show it on focus, much like Google. Here is a snippet of my component

export default function App() {
    const [results, resultsLoading, resultsError, setParams] = useFetch();
    const [suggestions, ,suggestionsError, setSuggestionsParams] = useFetch();
    const [showSearchSuggestions, setShowSearchSuggestions] = useState<boolean>(true);
    const [recentSearches, setRecentSearches] = useLocalStorage('recent_searches', []);
    const [searchAttributes, setSearchAttributes] = useState<SearchAtrributesInterface>({
        value: '',
        fetchType: SEARCH_FETCH_TYPES.SUGGESTIONS
    });

    useEffect(() => {
        const getSearchSuggestions = () => setSuggestionsParams(getAutoCompleteURL(searchAttributes.value));
        const getSearchResults = () => {
            setParams(getSearchURL(searchAttributes.value));
            setShowSearchSuggestions(false);
        };

        if (searchAttributes.value) {
            if (searchAttributes.fetchType === SEARCH_FETCH_TYPES.SUGGESTIONS) {
                getSearchSuggestions();
            } else {
                getSearchResults();
                setRecentSearches([searchAttributes.value, ...recentSearches])
            }
        }
    }, [searchAttributes, setParams, setSuggestionsParams]);

    return ( ... );
};

This works fine, but then I get hit with the linting warning: React Hook useEffect has missing dependencies: 'recentSearches' and 'setRecentSearches'. Either include them or remove the dependency array react-hooks/exhaustive-deps React Hook useEffect has missing dependencies: 'recentSearches' and 'setRecentSearches'. Either include them or remove the dependency array react-hooks/exhaustive-deps . Upon adding those two into the dependency array, I get stuck in an infinite loop because of course recentSearches 's state is getting set, causing it to re-render and so on. I'd like to find a solution as oppose to adding // eslint-disable-next-line because I feel there is something truly wrong that I am doing. Does anyone know what I could do differently to prevent the infinite loop and prevent the linter warning?

There ware two things to it.

Since you wish to make use of the existing state value to update the same state you should use callback approach

setRecentSearches(prevRececentSearches => ([searchAttributes.value, ...prevRececentSearches]));

Also when you are absolutely sure that you haven't missed any dependency, you can disable the warning. Please check this post for more details: How to fix missing dependency warning when using useEffect React Hook?
