I’m relatively new to React (about 8 months in with React Native). Can you give me some examples of abusing state?
At one point I was struggling with getting an edit control to render when I wanted (an issue with controlled vs non controlled) and I found myself setting a do-nothing state to force a rerender. That fixed my immediate issue, but I knew it was wrong enough that I had to come back to it later and revise the whole screen (went and learned how to use reducers which made everything on my more complex screens easier).
Ahh yes, abusing state can be temping. Just a little tweak here, it’s ok… no one is looking… oh crap!
