Handle re-calling a function inside useEffect when "Back Button" clicked from a user in React

I'm trying to not call loadUserPosts() function again if the user clicks the 'back button' on his browser. I think this is because of the isLogged useState because is changing when clicking the back button.

The loadUserPosts function is inside an useEffect only if the user is logged, so I have this:

In Posts.js component I have this:

import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { AuthUseContext } from  '../context/AuthContext';
import Axios from 'axios';

function Posts() {
    const [posts, setPosts] = useState([]);
    const { isLogged, setIsLogged, userData, setUserData } = AuthUseContext();

    useEffect(() => {
        if(isLogged) {
            loadUserPosts();
        }
    }, [isLogged]);

    // my API request to load all user posts
    function loadUserPosts()
    {
        Axios.post('/posts/load', {
            user: userData.id
        }).then((response) => {
            if(response.data.status === "success")
            {
                setPosts(response.data.posts);
            }
        }).catch((error) => {
            console.log("Something went wrong.. We are investigating.");
        })
    }

    return (
        <>
            {posts.map((p) => {
                <div className="post" key={p.id}>
                    <div className="post-user">
                        {p.username}
                    </div>
                    <div className="post-text">
                        {p.message};
                    </div>
                </div>
            })}
        </>
    )
}

export default Posts

If I remove the dependecies [isLogged] the isLogged will be false because the result from API Request in App.js has not been sent yet.

In app.js I have an API request to backend to check if the user is logged in or not (using NodeJs/Express as backend with cookie-session as middleware).

import { useEffect } from 'react'
import { Route, Routes } from 'react-router-dom'

import './css/style.css'

import Sidebar from './pages/Sidebar'
import Posts from './pages/Posts'

import { AuthUseContext } from  './context/AuthContext';

import Axios from 'axios'

function App() {
    const { isLogged, setIsLogged, userData, setUserData } = AuthUseContext();

    useEffect(() => {
        Axios.post('/checkuser', {
            userStatus: isLogged,
            userData: userData
        }).then((response) => {
            setIsLogged(response.data.status); // true / false
            setUserData(response.data.userdata); // { id: ..., name: ..., ...etc...}
        }).catch(function (error) {
            console.log("Something went wrong.. We are investigating.");
        });
        // eslint-disable-next-line
    }, [isLogged])

    return (
        <>
            <Sidebar />
            <div className="content">
                <Routes>
                    <Route path="/" element={<Posts />} />
                    <Route path="*" element={ <h1>Not found (404)</h1> } />
                </Routes>
            </div>
        </>
    );
    
}

export default App;

Can someone help me or how should I structure my components?

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere?
