Custom Widget Example, Fetches User Id On Every Render

[emmanuel1]

Hi Team,

unfortunately can’t post that as Comment under the Original Post.
But wanted to make you aware that in this post’s example code: https://community.palantir.com/t/how-to-create-a-custom-widget-for-workshop/2182/2

The User Information get’s fetched every render. I think that should be pushed into an useEffect.

Code I reference:

  const [user, setUser] = React.useState<User>();
  const getProfile = React.useCallback(async () => {
    const result = await getCurrent(platformClient);
    setUser(result);
  }, []);
getProfile()

Thanks for pointing this out. You are indeed right !
I’ll correct the original code of the post.
