Walkthrough

A patch was applied to the "react-native-youtube-bridge" package to address unnecessary rerenders of the YouTube player component on the web platform. The update modifies the dependency array of a useEffect hook in the player hook, ensuring the component remains stable even if the onError callback reference changes.

Changes

File(s)	Change Summary
.changeset/open-olives-cry.md	Added a changeset describing the patch for preventing unnecessary rerenders when onError is not memoized.
src/hooks/useYoutubePlayer.ts	Updated comments for clarity and removed onError from useEffect dependencies to avoid unnecessary rerenders.

A bunny hopped by with a patch in its paw,
To calm YouTube rerenders that it saw.
With dependencies trimmed and comments anew,
The player stays steady, no matter what you do!

src/hooks/useYoutubePlayer.ts (3)

30-30: LGTM! Clear documentation of intent.

The comment clarification effectively explains why exhaustive dependencies are ignored for the initialization-only useEffect.

---

49-49: LGTM! Helpful clarification.

The comment clearly documents that this useEffect is specifically intended to update only playerVars, which justifies ignoring the exhaustive dependencies lint rule.

---

85-85: Excellent fix for preventing unnecessary rerenders.

Removing onError from the dependency array is the correct solution here because:

1. The onError callback is already handled during initial setup (lines 39, 78-81)
2. It's properly updated via updateCallbacks in the dedicated useEffect (lines 103-116)
3. Including it in this dependency array was causing unnecessary player re-initialization whenever the callback reference changed

This change directly addresses the PR objective of preventing player rerenders when onError is not wrapped with useCallback.

.changeset/open-olives-cry.md (1)
