Scan your React codebase to identify problematic patterns like derived state, event logic in effects, and missing cleanup. The audit groups findings by anti-pattern and outputs a structured report with file paths, line numbers, and recommended idiomatic fixes.

Common useEffect anti-patterns include derived state, event logic in effects, effect chains, prop-driven resets, missing cleanup, and parent notifications. Identifying these during a React code audit helps streamline effect usage and apply idiomatic alternatives.

Yes, you can use static analysis to detect missing cleanup in React useEffect hooks. Scanning functional components and files surfaces missing cleanup patterns and outputs a structured report with file paths and line numbers for targeted fixes.

Yes, the useEffect audit works with both JavaScript and TypeScript React projects. It scans functional components and files across JS/TS environments to classify problematic useEffect patterns and propose idiomatic fixes.

The best way to clean up derived state and event logic in React effects is to audit your codebase for these specific anti-patterns. Replacing them with idiomatic React fixes streamlines component logic and improves overall application reliability.

You should avoid prop-driven resets and effect chains in React components because they are anti-patterns that reduce reliability. Auditing these occurrences and applying recommended fixes ensures cleaner state management and more predictable component behavior.
