I have a question... could the useState
be used without using the setter? because a teammate use it in that way to get an item from sessionStorage
const [initialScrollPosition] = useState(() => Number.parseFloat(sessionStorage.getItem('offset') || 0));
and argues that this is so that the component is not unnecessarily rerendered and to read the sessionStorage only once! 🤔 but I think we can use useMemo
for those cases but the useState is still used in this form in several components.
