useDocument causes infinite loops

[ItsAnoch]

When using useEffect and useDocument infinite loops.

This is a custom hook I have to have up to date use data.

export function useUserData(): UseUserDataReturn {
  const { data: session, status } = useSession();

  const documentRef = useCallback(() => {
    return session?.user?.id ? doc(db, 'users', session.user.id) : null;
  }, [session?.user?.id]);

  const options = useMemo(() => ({
    snapshotListenOptions: { includeMetadataChanges: true },
  }), []);

  const [value, loading, error] = useDocument(documentRef(), options);

  const userData = value?.data() as User | null;

  return {
    session,
    status,
    userData,
    loading,
    error
  };
}

If I create a separate state and use useEffect to update that state when userData changes it causes an infinite loop. Here's an example.

const { userData } =  useUserData();
const [ cart, setCart ] = useState<string[]>([]);

useEffect(() => {
   if (!userData) return;
   setCart( Object.keys( userData.cart ) );
}, [ userData ]);

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to fix this?

It looks like this package is not maintained for a lon time.
I created a new package instead: https://github.com/vpishuk/react-query-firebase.
It is missing documentation for now, but you can reach out to me and I would be happy to help you to start using it.
