react usestate previous state code example

Example 1: useRef

/*
	A common use case is to access a child imperatively: 
*/

function TextInputWithFocusButton() {
  const inputEl = useRef(null);
  const onButtonClick = () => {
    // `current` points to the mounted text input element
    inputEl.current.focus();
  };
  return (
    <>
      <input ref={inputEl} type="text" />
      <button onClick={onButtonClick}>Focus the input</button>
    </>
  );
}

Example 2: prevstate in usestate

const [prevState, setState] = React.useState([]);

setState(prevState => [...prevState, 'somedata'] );

Example 3: useeffect previous state

const Component = (props) => {
    const {receiveAmount, sendAmount } = props

// declare usePrevious hook
    const usePrevious = (value) => {
      const ref = useRef();
      useEffect(() => {
        ref.current = value;
      });
      return ref.current;
    }    
    
// call usePrevious hook on component state variables to store previousState
    const prevAmount = usePrevious({receiveAmount, sendAmount});
  
  	// useEffect hook to detect change of state variables
    useEffect(() => {
        if(prevAmount.receiveAmount !== receiveAmount) {

         // process here
        }
        if(prevAmount.sendAmount !== sendAmount) {

         // process here
        }
    }, [receiveAmount, sendAmount])
}

Example 4: when to use previous state in useState

import React, { useState } from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";

function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{count}</h1>
      <button onClick={() => setTimeout(() => setCount(count + 1), 2000)}>
        Delayed Counter (basic)
      </button>
      <button onClick={() => setTimeout(() => setCount(x => x + 1), 2000)}>
        Delayed Counter (functional)
      </button>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Immediate Counter</button>
    </div>
  );
}

const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<Counter />, rootElement);

Example 5: useReducer

function init(initialCount) {  return {count: initialCount};}
function reducer(state, action) {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'increment':
      return {count: state.count + 1};
    case 'decrement':
      return {count: state.count - 1};
    case 'reset':      return init(action.payload);    default:
      throw new Error();
  }
}

function Counter({initialCount}) {
  const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialCount, init);  return (
    <>
      Count: {state.count}
      <button
        onClick={() => dispatch({type: 'reset', payload: initialCount})}>        Reset
      </button>
      <button onClick={() => dispatch({type: 'decrement'})}>-</button>
      <button onClick={() => dispatch({type: 'increment'})}>+</button>
    </>
  );
}

Example 6: usestate access previous state

const [arrayOfObjs, handleObjSelection] = useState([]);

// on a buttton for example
<button
  onClick={selectedObj => handleObjSelection(
              prevSelected => [...prevSelected, selectedObj],
  		  ))}
