useEffect in useGlobal has no dependencies and will run every render

[dlee]

The function to add the global listener in useEffect will be rerun in every render since no dependency array is provided: https://github.com/CharlesStover/reactn/blob/master/src/use-global.ts#L69-L83

Is this intentional?

[quisido]

I'm unsure. useGlobal isn't very standardized, since it has conditional hook usage which is not a great practice, but solved a problem here. It could be that the effect every render solved an edge case bug, or it could have been an oversight!

If this isn't causing a performance bottleneck for your application, I'd recommend leaving it as-is so as not to introduce edge case bugs on the off-chance it'd cause any.

Any future releases of ReactN will contain the hooks lint rule that would prevent this from happening. 😄

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll leave this ticket open, because it's a valid issue; but there's currently no incentive to fix it. Let me know if this is causing you any issues.
