// Step 1: Import necessary modules
import { useEffect } from 'react';
// Step 2: Define the component or function
const MyComponent = () => {
// Step 3: Define the function that contains the asynchronous operation
const fetchData = async () => {
// Your asynchronous operation here, e.g., API call
try {
const response = await fetch('https://example.com/api/data');
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
}
};
// Step 4: Use the useEffect hook to set up the timeout
useEffect(() => {
// Step 5: Set the timeout duration (e.g., 3000 milliseconds for 3 seconds)
const timeoutDuration = 3000;
// Step 6: Set up the timeout using setTimeout
const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
// Step 7: Call the function containing the asynchronous operation
fetchData();
}, timeoutDuration);
// Step 8: Clean up the timeout to avoid memory leaks
return () => clearTimeout(timeoutId);
// Step 9: Dependency array to rerun the effect if dependencies change
}, []); // Empty array indicates no dependencies
// Step 10: Render your component or return JSX
return (
<div>
{/ Your component JSX or content /}
</div>
);
};
// Step 11: Export the component or function if needed
export default MyComponent;
