What does didRequest do in this component?



const AuthInit: FC<WithChildren> = ({children}) => {
const {auth, logout, setCurrentUser} = useAuth()
const didRequest = useRef(false)
const [showSplashScreen, setShowSplashScreen] = useState(true)
// We should request user by authToken (IN OUR EXAMPLE IT"S API_TOKEN) before rendering the application
useEffect(() => {
const requestUser = async (apiToken: string) => {
try {
if (!didRequest.current) {
const {data} = await getUserByToken(apiToken)
if (data) {
setCurrentUser(data)
}
}
} catch (error) {
console.error(error)
if (!didRequest.current) {
logout()
}
} finally {
setShowSplashScreen(false)
}

return () => (didRequest.current = true)
}

if (auth && auth.api_token) {
requestUser(auth.api_token)
} else {
logout()
setShowSplashScreen(false)
}
// eslint-disable-next-line
}, [])

return showSplashScreen ? <LayoutSplashScreen /> : <>{children}</>
}


I've got two questions:

1. What does didRequest do in this component?
2. What sequences of clicks do I have to do in demo1 for didRequest to be set to true - so that it breaks here if I set a breakpoint: return () => (didRequest.current = true)?

Hi,

1) didRequest is needed to be sure that we made only one request the getting user data from the server.
2) Just refresh the page and you will have a request.
