React useCallback linting 错误缺少依赖项

Question

I am using a custom hook useInstantSearch in my component.

When I wrap it in useCallback to I get the following error:

React Hook useCallback received a function whose dependencies are unknown. Pass an inline function instead.

This is the code:

  const [searchTerm, setSearchTerm] = useState<string>(searchQuery);
  const handleDebouncedSearch = useCallback(
    useInstantSearch(searchTerm, (search, cancelTrigger, searchStillValid) => {
      console.log('instant search', search);
    }),
    []
  );

  useEffect((): void => {
    handleDebouncedSearch(searchTerm);
  }, [searchTerm, handleDebouncedSearch]);

So effectively to send the updated search term to a child component for display only then the parent handles the debouncing of the search when that term changes.

search, cancelTrigger, searchStillValid

Are not part of the parent component, they are part of useInstantSearch .

Is this a warning I can ignore?

import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import { CancelTrigger } from '../../../ars/api/api.cancel';

const DELAY_SEARCH_MS = 300;

interface InstantSearchOnChange {
  (search: string, cancelTrigger: CancelTrigger, resultStillValid: { (): boolean }): void;
}

/**
 * Helper to delay request until user stop typing (300ms), support deprecated requests (cancel and helper to not update the state), or unmounted component.
 */
export default function useInstantSearch(initialSearch: string, onChange: InstantSearchOnChange): { (value: string): void } {
    
  const search = useRef<string>(initialSearch);
  const requests = useRef<CancelTrigger[]>([]);

  const mounted = useRef<boolean>(true);

  useEffect(() => {
    return (): void => {
      mounted.current = false;
    };
  }, []);

  return value => {
    search.current = value;

    setTimeout(() => {
      if (search.current === value) {
        requests.current = requests.current.filter(r => !r.cancel());

        const trigger = new CancelTrigger();
        requests.current.push(trigger);

        onChange(value, trigger, () => search.current === value && mounted.current);
      }
    }, DELAY_SEARCH_MS);
  };
}

Answer 1

Since you're using some external function, you can simply ignore the message:

useCallback(
  useInstantSearch(...)
, []) // eslint-disable-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps

---

However, you should be using it like:

  const [searchTerm, setSearchTerm] = useState<string>(searchQuery);
  const handleDebouncedSearch = useCallback(() => { // -> this
    useInstantSearch(searchTerm, (search, cancelTrigger, searchStillValid) => {
      console.log('instant search', search);
    })
  }, [searchTerm]); // eslint-disable-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps

Eslint comment is required here because, you're using callback inside useInstantSearch as there's no way to inject them as dependency.

You can ignore it if you don't mind the stale closures you can do it that way:

 const { useRef, useCallback, useEffect } = React; const DELAY_SEARCH_MS = 300; const later = (value, time) => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(() => resolve(value), time) ); /** * Helper to delay request until user stop typing (300ms), support deprecated requests (cancel and helper to not update the state), or unmounted component. */ function useInstantSearch(onChange) { const timeout = useRef(); const mounted = useRef(true); useEffect(() => { return () => { mounted.current = false; }; }, []); return useCallback( (value) => { clearTimeout(timeout.current); //cancel other timeout.current = setTimeout(() => { const current = timeout.current; onChange( value, () => //comparing timeout.current with current // async function may not be the last to resolve // this is important when you want to set state based // on an async result that is triggered on user input // user types "a" and then "b" if 2 async searches start // "a" and "ab" and "a" is so slow it will resolve after "ab" // then state result will be set for "ab" first and then with "a" // causing UI to be out of sync because user searched for "ab" // but results for "a" are shown timeout.current === current && mounted.current ); }, DELAY_SEARCH_MS); }, [onChange] ); } const App = () => { const handler1 = useCallback( (value) => console.log('handler1:', value), [] ); const handler2 = useCallback( (value) => console.log('handler2:', value), [] ); const handler3 = useCallback((value, shouldResolve) => { console.log('starting async with:', value); return later( value, value.length === 1? 1000: 800 ).then( (resolve) => shouldResolve() &&//you can opt not to set state here console.log('resolved with', resolve) ); }, []); const debounced1 = useInstantSearch(handler1); const debounced2 = useInstantSearch(handler2); const debounced3 = useInstantSearch(handler3); [1, 2, 3].forEach( (num) => setTimeout(() => { debounced1(num); debounced2(num * 2); }, 100) //lower than the 300 of debounce ); //both callbacks will be called but "a" resolves after "ab" since // "ab" was the last to be requested it will be the only one that logs // resolved with setTimeout(() => debounced3('a'), 500); setTimeout(() => debounced3('ab'), 1500); return 'hello world (check console)'; }; ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

There may be a solution to your problem but without knowing what useInstantSearch is it's impossible to provide one.

My guess is that you should use useCallback inside useInstantSearch but since that code is missing from your question I can only guess.
