# `useUpdateEffect` React effect hook that ignores the first invocation (e.g. on mount). The signature is exactly the same as the `useEffect` hook. ## Usage ```jsx import React from 'react' import {useUpdateEffect} from 'react-use'; const Demo = () => { const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0); React.useEffect(() => { const interval = setInterval(() => { setCount(count => count + 1) }, 1000) return () => { clearInterval(interval) } }, []) useUpdateEffect(() => { console.log('count', count) // will only show 1 and beyond return () => { // *OPTIONAL* // do something on unmount } }) // you can include deps array if necessary return
