HOW TO TRIGGER A HOOK PROGRAMMATICALLY / MANUALLY FOR FETCHING DATA?

Dear React developers! We are fetching data once the component mounts. But what about using an input field to tell the API in which topic we are interested in? "Redux" is taken as default query. But what about topics about "React"? Let's implement an input element to enable someone to fetch other stories than "Redux" stories. Therefore, introduce a new state for the input element.

At the moment, both states are independent from each other, but now you want to couple them to only fetch articles that are specified by the query in the input field. With the following change, the component should fetch all articles by query term once it mounted.

One piece is missing: When you try to type something into the input field, there is no other data fetching after the mounting triggered from the effect. That's because you have provided the empty array as second argument to the effect. The effect depends on no variables, so it is only triggered when the component mounts. However, now the effect should depend on the query. Once the query changes, the data request should fire again.

Now, make the effect dependant on the search state rather than the fluctuant query state that changes with every key stroke in the input field. Once the user clicks the button, the new search state is set and should trigger the effect hook kinda manually.

Also the initial state of the search state is set to the same state as the query state, because the component fetches data also on mount and therefore the result should mirror the value in the input field. However, having a similar query and search state is kinda confusing. Why not set the actual URL as state instead of the search state?

That's if for the implicit programmatic data fetching with the effect hook. You can decide on which state the effect depends. Once you set this state on a click or in another side-effect, this effect will run again. In this case, if the URL state changes, the effect runs again to fetch stories from the API.

Thanks. For next time, I will post how to load indicator with react hooks for fetching data.
