Understanding the React Hooks ‘exhaustive-deps’ lint rule

The reason the linter rule wants onChange to go into the useEffect hook is because it’s possible for onChange to change between renders, and the lint rule is intended to prevent that sort of “stale data” reference.

Determine which dependency array variable caused useEffect hook to fire

I ended up taking a little bit from various answers to make my own hook for this.
