Getting error after I put Async function in useEffect

by

You’re returning the result of calling getResponse() from the useEffect function. If you return anything from useEffect, it has to be a function. Changing your code to this should fix it because you’re no longer returning anything from the useEffect function.

useEffect(() => { 
  getResponse();
});

The useEffect Cleanup Function

If you return anything from the useEffect hook function, it must be a cleanup function. This function will run when the component unmounts. This can be thought of as roughly equivalent to the componentWillUnmount lifecycle method in class components.

useEffect(() => { 
  doSomething();

  return () => {
    console.log("This will be logged on unmount");
  }
});
