 下面提供一些常用的 Effect 应用模式。

+
+#### Don't use refs to prevent Effects from firing {/*dont-use-refs-to-prevent-effects-from-firing*/}
+
+A common pitfall for preventing Effects firing twice in development is to use a `ref` to prevent the Effect from running more than once. For example, you could "fix" the above bug with a `useRef`:
+
+```js {1,3-4}
+  const connectionRef = useRef(null);
+  useEffect(() => {
+    // 🚩 This wont fix the bug!!!
+    if (!connectionRef.current) {
+      connectionRef.current = createConnection();
+      connectionRef.current.connect();
+    }
+  }, []);
+```
+
+This makes it so you only see `"✅ Connecting..."` once in development, but it doesn't fix the bug.
+
+When the user navigates away, the connection still isn't closed and when they navigate back, a new connection is created. As the user navigates across the app, the connections would keep piling up, the same as it would before the "fix". 
+
+To fix the bug, it is not enough to just make the Effect run once. The effect needs to work after re-mounting, which means the connection needs to be cleaned up like in the solution above.
+
+See the examples below for how to handle common patterns.

 ### 控制非 React 组件 {/*controlling-non-react-widgets*/}
 
 有时需要添加不是使用 React 编写的 UI 小部件。例如，假设你要向页面添加地图组件，并且它有一个 `setZoomLevel()` 方法，你希望调整缩放级别（zoom level）并与 React 代码中的 `zoomLevel` state 变量保持同步。Effect 看起来应该与下面类似：
