setState example react

Example 1: set state

class App extends React.Component {

state = { count: 0 }

handleIncrement = () => {
  this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 })
}

handleDecrement = () => {
  this.setState({ count: this.state.count - 1 })
}
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <div>
          {this.state.count}
        </div>
        <button onClick={this.handleIncrement}>Increment by 1</button>
        <button onClick={this.handleDecrement}>Decrement by 1</button>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

Example 2: setstate in react

Functional Component
const [counter, setCounter] = useState(0);

setCouter(counter + 1);

Example 3: reading state react

class Example extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      count: 0
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>You clicked {this.state.count} times</p>
        <button onClick={() => this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 })}>
          Click me
        </button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Example 4: react setState

incrementCount() {
  // Note: this will *not* work as intended.
  this.setState({count: this.state.count + 1});
}

handleSomething() {
  // Let's say `this.state.count` starts at 0.
  this.incrementCount();
  this.incrementCount();
  this.incrementCount();
  // When React re-renders the component, `this.state.count` will be 1, but you expected 3.

  // This is because `incrementCount()` function above reads from `this.state.count`,
  // but React doesn't update `this.state.count` until the component is re-rendered.
  // So `incrementCount()` ends up reading `this.state.count` as 0 every time, and sets it to 1.

  // The fix is described below!
}

Example 5: reading state react

<button onClick={() => this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 })}>
    Click me
  </button>
