useEffect() 和深度嵌套对象数组

Question

I am trying to call useEffect() whenever arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects changes. export default compose(... is part of an offline first database ( watermelonDB ) and updates arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects when there is a change in the database. One could expect useEffect() to execute, whenever arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects changes, but it is not. This is beause useEffect() only performs a shallo comparison and does not recognize the changes in arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects .

import withObservables from '@nozbe/with-observables';
import {withDatabase} from '@nozbe/watermelondb/DatabaseProvider';
import {compose} from 'recompose';
import {Q} from '@nozbe/watermelondb';

const Foo = ({arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects}) => {
  console.log('render'); // <-- this renders whenever arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects is updated

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log(new Date()); // <-- this does not render whenever arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects is updated
    const doSomething = async () => {
        ...
    };
    const data = await doSomething();
    setData(data);
  }, [arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects]); // <-- this does only perform a shallow compare

    return <SomeNiceUi />
}

export default compose(
  withDatabase,
  withObservables(['arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects'], ({database}) => ({
    arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects: database.get(SOME_TABLE).query().observe(),
  })),
)(Foo); <-- subscription das fires everytime an update is made to the database

This is how arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects looks like

[{"__changes": null, "_isEditing": false, "_preparedState": null, "_raw": {"_changed": "x,y", "_status": "created", "id": "3", "x": 5851, "id_arr": "[\"160\"]", "id": "6wmwep5xwfzj3dav", "y": 0.17576194444444446}, "_subscribers": [], "collection": {"_cache": [RecordCache], "_subscribers": [Array], "changes": [Subject], "database": [Database], "modelClass": [Function SomeTable]}}]

The changes to arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects are done in the objects either to x , y or id_arr . The length of arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects can change as well. There might be more (or less) objects of the same structure in there.

How to call useEffect() everytime arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects changes?

Answer 1

try this:

useEffect(() => {
  console.log(new Date());
  const doSomething = async () => {
    ...
  };
  doSomething();
}, [JSON.stringify(arrayWithDeeplyNestedObjects)]);
