Difference between `effect` and `createEffect`
I notice the docs recommend
createEffect for effects from solid-js
But effect also exists as an import from solid-js/web
What is the difference between them?1 Reply
I'd need to check, but I believe they are identical (at least in spirit).
effect is the name that dom-expressions uses for a generic effect, so you'll see it in generated code, say in the playground. This is a layer of abstraction so that dom-expressions can run on several runtimes. On Solid, it's implemented via createEffect (I believe it's just an alias).
So... Use createEffect. effect is just for a layer of abstraction that you need not care about.
