There are obvious differences between React and Nextjs. 
When I was working with React the <code>UseEffect</code> hook was one of the most useful hooks I used. Particularly if you wanted any data to be fetched from an API and loaded into your app when it is first rendered.
Nextjs introduced <code>getStaticProps</code> and <code>getServerSideProps</code>, thereby doing away with the need of UseEffect.
That got me wondering...

Nextjs introduced `getStaticProps` and `getServerSideProps`, thereby doing away with the need of UseEffect.

Does the UseEffect Hook have a use in Nextjs?

Nextjs, What Have You Done With UseEffect?

I am a polyglot and lover of languages of all kinds. I enjoy learning and sharing what I learn with anyone willing to listen. I try to do the best that I can today so I am better than I was yesterday.
