I am somewhat new to React and I am running into an issue and I was hoping someone will be willing to help me understand why my method is not working.
I have this state:
const [beers, setBeers] = useState([
{
id: 8759,
uid: "8c5f86a9-87bf-41fa-bc7f-044a9faf10be",
brand: "Budweiser",
name: "Westmalle Trappist Tripel",
style: "Fruit Beer",
hop: "Liberty",
yeast: "1056 - American Ale",
malts: "Special roast",
ibu: "22 IBU",
alcohol: "7.5%",
blg: "7.7°Blg",
bought: false
},
{
id: 3459,
uid: "7fa04e27-0b6b-4053-a26b-c0b1782d31c3",
brand: "Kirin",
name: "Hercules Double IPA",
style: "Amber Hybrid Beer",
hop: "Nugget",
yeast: "2000 - Budvar Lager",
malts: "Vienna",
ibu: "18 IBU",
alcohol: "9.4%",
blg: "7.5°Blg",
bought: true
}]
I am rendering the beers with a map function and I have some jsx that calls a handleClick function
<button onClick={() => handleClick(beer.id)}>
{beer.bought ? "restock" : "buy"}
</button>
this is the function being called:
const handleClick = (id) => {
setBeers((currentBeers) =>
currentBeers.map((beer) => {
if (beer.id === id) {
beer.bought = !beer.bought;
console.log(beer);
}
return beer;
})
);
};
I wanted to use an updater function to update the state, I am directly mapping inside the setter function and since map returns a new array, I thought everything would work correctly but in fact, it doesn't. It works only on the first button click and after that it stops updating the value.
I noticed that if I use this method:
const handleClick = (id) => {
const newbeers = beers.map((beer) => {
if (beer.id === id) {
beer.bought = !beer.bought;
}
return beer;
});
setBeers(newbeers);
};
Then everything works as expected.
Can someone help me understand why my first method isn't working?

OK, I think I have figured it out. The difference between my sandbox and your sandbox is the inclusion of <StrictMode>
in the Index file. Removing this fixes the issue, but is not the correct solution. So I dug a little deeper.
What we all missed was that in your code you were modifying the previous state object that is passed in. You should instead be creating a new beer object and then modifying that. So this code works (I hope):
setBeers((currentBeers) =>
currentBeers.map((currentBeer) => { // changed beer to currentBeer
const beer = {...currentBeer};
if (beer.id === id) {
beer.bought = !beer.bought;
}
return beer;
)
});
I hope that this helps.
CodePudding user response:
react does not deeply compares the object in the state. Since you map over beers
and just change a property, they are the same for react and no rerender will happen.
You need to set the state with a cloned object.
e.g.:
import {cloneDeep} from 'lodash';
...
setBeers(
cloneDeep(currentBeers.map((beer) => {
if (beer.id === id) {
beer.bought = !beer.bought;
console.log(beer);
}
return beer;
})
)
);
