useEffect does not listen for localStorage

by

It would be better to add an event listener for localstorage here.

useEffect(() => {
  function checkUserData() {
    const item = localStorage.getItem('userData')

    if (item) {
      setUserData(item)
    }
  }

  window.addEventListener('storage', checkUserData)

  return () => {
    window.removeEventListener('storage', checkUserData)
  }
}, [])
