Effects are an escape hatch from React. They let you synchronize with external systems. If there is no external system involved, you shouldn't need an Effect.
| Situation | DON'T | DO |
|---|---|---|
| Derived state from props/state | useState + useEffect | Calculate during render |
| Expensive calculations | useEffect to cache | useMemo |
| Reset state on prop change | useEffect with setState | key prop |
| User event responses | useEffect watching state | Event handler directly |
| Notify parent of changes | useEffect calling onChange | Call in event handler |
| Fetch data | useEffect without cleanup | useEffect with cleanup OR framework |
