useAsyncEffect

Convenience function for usage of useEffect with async functions in React.

Why

Convenience and makes code cleaner. The following is allowed

import { useAsyncEffect } from "@jeswr/use-async-effect";

function MyComponent() {
  useAsyncEffect(async () => {
    /* Effect goes here */
  }, []);
  return /* JSX Output */
}

in constrast, async function calls with useEffect in React should be structured as follows:

import { useEffect } from "react";

function MyComponent() {
  useEffect(() => {
    (async () => {
      /* Effect goes here */
    })();
  }, []);
  return /* JSX Output */
}
