React Hook useState value being reset to initial value - javascript

The state of a value set using React useState hook gets set to the proper value and then reset to null. Critical code below. The click event that sets the startDate to the current date and time is 3 components down from where startDate is initialized. When setStartDate did not work I created an arrow function, updateStartDate. Both had the same problem where the startDate was changed after the click event (witnessed per the console.log in the top component), but was null just before the next click event (per the console.log in the click event). This is not an async problem as I see the change made before subsequent click.
If this is something that just does not work please explain. I could probably fix with useReducer but prefer to keep the useState if there is something I can do to correct this... If not correctable then I would like to at least understand why it does not work so that I can avoid this problem in the future.
export const DisplayTicTacToeContainer = (props) => {
const [startDate, setStartDate]= useState();
const updateStartDate = (newDate) => {
setStartDate(newDate);
}
useEffect (() => {
setStartDate(null);
}, []);
useEffect(() => {
console.log( "displayTicTacToeContainer useEffect for change of startDate = ", startDate)
}, [startDate]);
return (
<DisplayTicTacToeMatch arrayOfMatchingItems ={arrayOfMatchingItems}
startDate={startDate}
setStartDate={setStartDate}
updateStartDate={updateStartDate}
/>);
}
//-----------------------------------------------
export const DisplayTicTacToeMatch = (props) => {
const { startDate,
setStartDate,
updateStartDate,
} = props;
useEffect(() => {
// Performs some prep and working fine.
}, []);
return (
<TicTacToe
startDate={startDate}
setStartDate={setStartDate}
updateStartDate={updateStartDate}
/>
);
}
//-----------------------------------------------
const TicTacToeContainer = (props) => {
const { startDate,
setStartDate,
updateStartDate,
} = props;
const [board, setBoard] = useState(<Board
updateStartDate={updateStartDate}
startDate={startDate}
setStartDate={setStartDate}/>);
return (
<Board/>
)
}
export default TicTacToeContainer;
I renamed the component to BoardComponent and the state variable to boardLayout. I included the full return portion of the BoardComponent below.
As I am still experiencing the problem I would agree with you that, "DisplayTicTacToeContainer is being mounted twice". Any thoughts on how I can avoid this from happening?
Other than this inability to setStartDate, everything is working fine.
//-----------------------------------------------
const Board = (props) => {
const { updateStartDate,
startDate,
setStartDate,
} = props;

BoardContainer.propTypes = {

export default BoardContainer;

At least, code below doesn't make much sense.
Please don't set state value as a component.
Also, try to name state variable different from components, since it will confuse you at some ppint.
const [board, setBoard] = useState(<Board
updateStartDate={updateStartDate}
startDate={startDate}
setStartDate={setStartDate}/>);
return (
<Board/>
)
Another possibility is that the DisplayTicTacToeContainer is being mounted twice, but I can't confirm it with the code provided.

React props updating with useState?

I have the component below where I'm trying the build functionality to allow a user to update opening times of a store.
I'm passing the original opening times as a prop and creating some state using the props opening times for initial state. I want to use the new state to submit changes but if the user selects cancel the UI updates to reflect the original times.
I have most of the functionality working but for some reason my handler to update the state with the input change also seems to update the props value so it won't go back to the original value.
How can I stop the props updating and ensure only the allOpeningHours state is changed?

The problem is that objects within the studio.openingHours.regularDays array still share the same reference, even though you copied the array itself.
When you use something like
newHours[i].start = e.target.value
You're still updating the original objects from props.
You can use Array.prototype.splice() to remove the object at index i and replace it with a new one
const day = newHours[i];
newHours.splice(i, 1, {
...day,
start: e.target.value,
});
Do this in each of your 3 handle functions.
Alternately, break all references when creating local state from props
const [allOpeningHours, setAllOpeningHours] = useState(
studio.openingHours.regularDays.map((day) => ({ ...day }))
);

Close parent component

I have a code with which the user can select a file from their device. The Card component will display its name and operations that can be done with the file.
But my problem is that I don't know how to close this component if the user wants to cancel the action.
export default function DisplaySelectedFile() {
const [fileName, setFileName] = useState("");
console.log(setFileName)
return (
<div>
<SelectFileButton setFileName={setFileName} />
{fileName && <Card sx={styles.CommonStyle}>
<Stack spacing={10} direction="row" style={{paddingTop: "20px", paddingLeft: "10px"}}>
<div>{fileName}</div>
<Stack spacing={3} direction="row">
<div>Convert to</div>
<ConvertToFormatFile></ConvertToFormatFile>
</Stack>
<Button>CONVERT</Button>
<CloseIcon/>
</Stack>
</Card>}
</div>
);
}
I have added a button which should close the entire Card component. If I add the following code
<CloseIcon onClick={() => setFileName(false)}/>
If I add the following code, then the component closes. But the next time you select a file, this component does not open (only after reloading the page).
Tell me how to close the Card component correctly so that you can open it without problems
I would suggest to handle separately the card visibility and the file name value.
Something like this should work:
import React, { useState, useCallback } from "react";
const DisplaySelectedFile = () => {
const [fileName, setFileName] = useState(null);
const [showCard, setShowCard] = useState(false);
const handleSelectFile = useCallback(
(file) => {
setFileName(file);
file && setShowCard(true);
},
[setFileName, setShowCard]
);
const handleCloseCard = useCallback(() => {
setShowCard(false);
setFileName(null); // add this line only if it fits your use case
}, [setFileName, setShowCard]);
return (
<div>
<SelectFileButton setFileName={handleSelectFile} />
{showCard && (
<Card sx={styles.CommonStyle}>
<Stack
spacing={10}
direction="row"
style={{ paddingTop: "20px", paddingLeft: "10px" }}
>
<div>{fileName}</div>
<Stack spacing={3} direction="row">
<div>Convert to</div>
<ConvertToFormatFile></ConvertToFormatFile>
</Stack>
<Button>CONVERT</Button>
<CloseIcon onClick={handleCloseCard} />
</Stack>
</Card>
) || null}
</div>
);
}
export default DisplaySelectedFile;

React huge array sorting (5k items)

I am getting an array of 5k objects from jsonplaceholder (photos endpoint). And I want to sort it by albumId using a Material-UI select. So the problem is state is not being displayed properly. When I choose 'desc' options my items grid is not being updated, but when I drop the sorting state to it's initial value, the rerender happens and I am getting a sorted by 'desc' order list.
API link: json placeholder photos JSON
const handleChangeSort = (e: SelectChangeEvent) => {
const sort = e.target.value;
setSort(sort);
};
const handleClearSort = () => {
setSort('');
};
React.useEffect(() => {
if (sort) {
const sortedImages = filteredImages.sort(
byValue((i) => i.albumId, byNumber({ desc: sort === 'desc' }))
);
setFilteredImages(sortedImages);
} else {
setFilteredImages(images);
}
setPage(1);
/* eslint-disable-next-line */
}, [sort]);
React.useEffect(() => {
console.log('NEW FILTERED IMAGES', filteredImages);
}, [filteredImages]);
<>
{!imagesLoading &&
(filteredImages.length ? (
<Grid container item spacing={5} xs={12}>
{filteredImages
.slice(itemsOnPage * (page - 1), page * itemsOnPage)
.map((image: Image) => (
<Grid item xs={4} key={image.id}>
<Card>
<CardHeader title={image.title.slice(0, 20)} />
<CardMedia
component="img"
height="100%"
image={image.thumbnailUrl}
alt={image.title}
/>
<CardActions>
<Button
size="small"
className={classNames(classes.btn, classes.deleteBtn)}
>
<DeleteIcon />
</Button>
<Button
size="small"
className={classNames(classes.btn, classes.previewBtn)}
>
<PreviewIcon />
</Button>
</CardActions>
</Card>
</Grid>
))}
</Grid>
) : (
<Grid item>
<Typography variant="body1">No images were found</Typography>
</Grid>
))}
</>
Furthermore, the useEffect, that is listening for filteredImages to change is not working. I am not getting the console.log after filteredImages change it's value.
UPD: Default sorting by Array.sort is not working either
you can use orderBy lodash for sorting array, you can also check this answer : answer
In your case, you can write useEffect method Like this
import {orderBy} from 'lodash'
React.useEffect(() => {
if (sort) {
setFilteredImages( orderBy(filteredImages, ['albumId'], ['desc']) );
} else {
setFilteredImages(images);
}
setPage(1);
/* eslint-disable-next-line */
}, [sort]);

Cant bind form to nested array properly in react js

I'm trying to bind to a nested array to text inputs from a form. There are 6 blocks and each block contains 3 values. I have initially populated the array for mapping by using:
new Array(6).fill(['','',''])
and rendering the values using 2 loops. One for the 6 blocks and the other 3 values inside each block. The 3 values are the ones binding to the form. I refer to each of the inputs using the second parameter of the map function which is the index.
Here is the code in its entirety.
import {
Card,
CardContent,
CardHeader,
CardMedia,
TextField,
Grid,
Typography,
Button,
} from "#material-ui/core";
import axios from "axios";
import { useState } from "react";
import { useHistory } from "react-router";
export default function CreateEditQuestion() {
const answerPack = new Array(6).fill(["", "", ""]);
const [question, setQuestion] = useState("");
const [answers, setAnswer] = useState(answerPack);
const [TimeAllowed, setTimeAllowed] = useState(30);
const [Score, setScore] = useState(1);
const [Date, setDate] = useState("");
const history = useHistory();
const handleAnswerSet = (value, answerIndex, answerTextIndex) => {
var updatedAnswer = answers;
updatedAnswer[answerIndex][answerTextIndex] = value;
setAnswer(updatedAnswer);
};
const handleSubmit = () => {
let data = {
question,
answer_set: answers,
time_allowed: TimeAllowed,
score_value: Score,
date: Date,
};
for (const [key, value] of Object.entries({ question, Date })) {
if (value.trim().length == 0) {
alert(`${key} has not been filled in`);
return false;
}
}
axios
.post(
"https://localhost:8000/question",
data
)
.then((resp) => {
alert("Succesfully added Question");
history.push("/question");
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});
};
return (

);
}
Problem:
On each block, changing any value also changes all the other corresponding inputs in other blocks, so if the first input on the first block is changed, then all other first inputs in the other blocks also get changed,e.g(changing answer 1-1 also changes 2-1,3-1,4-1, etc). I could not trace why. Only the corresponding values should be changed
This is the function responsible for setting the values.
const handleAnswerSet = (value, answerIndex, answerTextIndex) => {
var updatedAnswer = answers;
updatedAnswer[answerIndex][answerTextIndex] = value;
setAnswer(updatedAnswer);
};

React.memo not working with functoinal components and google maps

I am trying to insert a google maps map in a React application. I would rather not use a non-official library (the ones that I have found lack documentation) and I have already managed inserting the map.
My problem is that the map is re-rendered every time the state of the parent component changes; although the values that change are completely irrelevant from what the map needs.
After a bit of research (I am new to React) I came across the React.memo() HOC which is supposed to prevent re-renders of child components when their props are unchanged. For some reason however I cannot get it to work correctly. Event when I insert the map inside a component with no props, any change in the parent state results in a re-render of the map.
Here is the parent component:
const CompanyDepotsPopup = () => {
const classes = useStyles();
const dispatch = useDispatch();
const open = useSelector((state) => selectIsDepotsPopupOpen(state));
const company = useSelector((state) => selectSelectedCompany(state));
const depotsStatus = useSelector((state) => selectDepotsStatus(state));
const {t} = useTranslation();
const [value, setValue] = useState(0);
const [phone, setPhone] = useState("");
const handleChange = (event, newValue) => {
setValue(newValue);
};
const closeModal = () => {
dispatch(toggleDepotsPopup({}));
}
useEffect(() => {
if (company) {
dispatch(depotsListed({companyId: company.id}));
}
}, [company])
if (!company) return <></>;
if (depotsStatus === "loading") {
return <CenteredLoader/>
}
function TabPanel(props) {
const {children, value, index} = props;
return (
<div
hidden={value !== index}
style={{height: "100%"}}
>
{value === index && (
<Box boxShadow={3} mt={1} ml={2} mr={2} height={"100%"}>
{children}
</Box>
)}
</div>
);
}
return (
<Dialog fullWidth={true} open={open}
aria-labelledby="company-dialog-popup">
<DialogTitle >
{company.name}
</DialogTitle>
<DialogContent style={{padding: 0, margin: 0}}>
<Divider/>
<Box mr={0} ml={0} mt={0} p={0} height="95%">
<div >
<AppBar position="static">
<Tabs value={value} onChange={handleChange} aria-label="depots tabs" centered>
<Tab label={t("Company's depots list")}/>
<Tab label={t("Add new depot")}/>
</Tabs>
</AppBar>
<TabPanel value={value} index={0}>
<DepotsList/>
</TabPanel>
<TabPanel value={value} index={1}>
<Paper>
<Grid container spacing={2}>
<Grid item xs={12} sm={12} md={12} lg={12}>
<TextField
onChange={(event) => setPhone(event.target.value)}
id="phone"
label={t("Phone")}
type="text"
fullWidth
value={phone}
/>
</Grid>
<Grid item xs={12} sm={12} md={12} lg={12}>
<div style={{height: "250px", display: "flex", "flexDirection": "column"}}>
<MyMap
id="myMap"

<DialogActions style={{marginTop: "20px"}}>
<Button
variant={"outlined"}
onClick={closeModal}
color="secondary"
>
Done
</Button>
</DialogActions>
</Dialog>
)}
And here is the Map component:
import React, {useEffect} from "react";
const Map = ({id}) => {
const onScriptLoad = () => {
const map = new window.google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById(id),
{
center: {lat: 41.0082, lng: 28.9784},
zoom: 8
}
);
const marker = new window.google.maps.Marker({
position: {lat: 41.0082, lng: 28.9784},
map: map,
title: 'Hello Istanbul!'
});
}
useEffect(() => {
if (!window.google) {
const s = document.createElement("script");
s.type = "text/javascript";
s.src = "https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=''"
const x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);
s.addEventListener('load', e => {
onScriptLoad();
})
} else {
onScriptLoad();
}
}, []);
return (
<div style={{width: "100%", height: "100%"}} id={id}/>
);
}
const MyMap = React.memo(Map);
export default MyMap;
Every time setPhone is called when the user types the phone and the state changes, the map is re-rendered. Could someone explain to me why the React.memo does not work and how should I proceed in order to avoid re-rendering the map?
I think my guts feeling is this component
function TabPanel(props) {
const {children, value, index} = props;
return (
<div
hidden={value !== index}
style={{height: "100%"}}
>
{value === index && (
<Box boxShadow={3} mt={1} ml={2} mr={2} height={"100%"}>
{children}
</Box>
)}
</div>
);
}
This is defined inside a component, therefore the instance of this component keeps changing after any state change. In order to prevent it, move it outside of the component, like this
function TabPanel()
function CompanyDepotsPopup()
Instead of
function CompanyDepotsPopup() {
function TabPanel()
}
The reason is also your TabPanel wraps everything else.
