 You can return a function from `$effect`, which will run immediately before the effect re-runs, and before it is destroyed ([demo](/#H4sIAAAAAAAAE42SzW6DMBCEX2Vl5RDaVCQ9JoDUY--9lUox9lKsGBvZC1GEePcaKPnpqSe86_m0M2t6ViqNnu0_e2Z4jWzP3pqGbRhdmrHwHWrCUHvbOjF2Ei-caijLTU4aCYRtDUEKK0-ccL2NDstNrbRWHoU10t8Eu-121gTVCssSBa3XEaQZ9GMrpziGj0p5OAccCgSHwmEgJZwrNNihg6MyhK7j-gii4uYb_YyGUZ5guQwzPdL7b_U4ZNSOvp9T2B3m1rB5cLx4zMkhtc7AHz7YVCVwEFzrgosTBMuNs52SKDegaPbvWnMH8AhUXaNUIY6-hHCldQhUIcyLCFlfAuHvkCKaYk8iYevGGgy2wyyJnpy9oLwG0sjdNe2yhGhJN32HsUzi2xOapNpl_bSLIYnDeeoVLZE1YI3QSpzSfo7-8J5PKbwOmdf2jC6JZyD7HxpPaMk93aHhF6utVKVCyfbkWhy-hh9Z3o_2nQIAAA==)).
