Getting the error 'ReferenceError: Cannot access 'todos' before initialization' on useEffect

function App() {
    //use effect
    useEffect(() =>{
        filterHandler();
    },[todos, status]); 


    //input text
    const [inputText,setInputText]=useState('');

CodePudding user response：

You're using todos near the top of your component, but you don't create the variable until lower in the component. You will need to swap the order, so that you create it first, and use it after.

function App() {
  //todo list
  const [todos, setTodos] = useState([]);

  //use effect
  useEffect(() => {
    filterHandler();
  }, [todos, status]);

  //input text
  const [inputText, setInputText] = useState("");

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <header>
        <h1>Todo List</h1>
      </header>
      <Form todos={todos} />
    </div>
  );
}
