react usestate with previous state code example

Example 1: prevstate in usestate

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

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

Example 2: 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 3: 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 4: previous state in useEffect

function usePrevious(value) {
  const ref = useRef();
  useEffect(() => {
    ref.current = value;
  });
  return ref.current;
}

const Component = (props) => {
    const {receiveAmount, sendAmount } = props
    const prevAmount = usePrevious({receiveAmount, sendAmount});
    useEffect(() => {
        if(prevAmount.receiveAmount !== receiveAmount) {

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

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