useEffect in custom hook not triggered when 'ref' changes

[sorskoot]

When a hook depends on a 'ref' and that ref changes in the component, because it was used in a condition for example that became active after the component was first rendered, the useEffect in the hook doesn't get called. A useEffect in the component itself does. This allows for working around it, but that is not ideal.

export const useSomeHook = (
    props: SomeHookProps
): [React.MutableRefObject<Object3D | null>] => {
    const ref = useRef<Object3D>(null);
    useEffect(() => {
        // Do something with the ref.current, but this gets never called.
    }, [ref.current]);
    return [ref];
};
