VistasWhy do all objects have the same date despite incrementing in each iteration?
Hi I want to be able to modify an array of objects in state using a for loop and would like to know the best way of going about this!
const [ paymentData, setPaymentData ] = useState([
{
paymentN: 'First Payment',
paymentDate: 'March 07'
},
{
paymentN: 'Second Payment',
paymentDate: 'March 24'
},
{
paymentN: 'Third Payment',
paymentDate: 'April 8th',
},
{
paymentN: 'Fourth Payment',
paymentDate: 'April 21st'
}
])
Specifically I want to modify the dates in each object in my paymentData state array. My intended final result would something like
{
paymentN: 'First Payment',
paymentDate: 'Mon Mar 14 2022 07:17:05 GMT-0400'
},
{
paymentN: 'Second Payment',
paymentDate: 'Mon Mar 28 2022 07:17:05 GMT-0400'
},
{
paymentN: 'Third Payment',
paymentDate: 'Mon Apr 11 2022 07:17:05 GMT-0400'
},
{
paymentN: 'Fourth Payment',
paymentDate: 'Mon Apr 25 2022 07:17:05 GMT-0400'
}
My function is intended to get the current date, increment it by 2 weeks and then set the new date at object[i]. My idea was to take the previous state data create a new array of objects with the modified date and set it to state again.
const createPaymentPlan = ( amount, e ) => {
e.preventDefault();
const currentDate = new Date()
var obj = []
for ( let i = 0 ; i < 4 ; i ++ ) {
currentDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate()+14)
const updatedPaymentData = paymentData[i]
updatedPaymentData.paymentDate = currentDate
obj.push(updatedPaymentData)
}
setPaymentData(obj)
}
When I tried this my final state looks like this, however when I console.log the updatedPaymentData variable it is set to the correct incremented date in each loop.

Each object is referring to the same date object causing all of them to have the same date after the loop. You can create a new Date in each iteration to fix this.
const paymentData = [{
paymentN: 'First Payment',
paymentDate: 'March 07'
},
{
paymentN: 'Second Payment',
paymentDate: 'March 24'
},
{
paymentN: 'Third Payment',
paymentDate: 'April 8th',
},
{
paymentN: 'Fourth Payment',
paymentDate: 'April 21st'
}
]
const currentDate = new Date()
const array = []
for (let i = 0; i < paymentData.length; i++) {
currentDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate() + 14)
const updatedPaymentData = paymentData[i]
updatedPaymentData.paymentDate = new Date(currentDate);
array.push(updatedPaymentData)
}
console.log(array)It's better to make sure that the state's values are of the same type/format across renders so you can do this conversion and use the converted array as the initial state.
// this can be defined somewhere outside the component
const formatPaymentData = (paymentData) => {
return paymentData.reduce(
((currentDate) => (formatted, curr) => {
currentDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate() + 14);
formatted.push({ ...curr, paymentDate: new Date(currentDate) });
return formatted;
})(new Date()),
[]
);
};
const [paymentData, setPaymentData] = useState(
formatPaymentData([
{
paymentN: 'First Payment',
paymentDate: 'March 07',
},
{
paymentN: 'Second Payment',
paymentDate: 'March 24',
},
{
paymentN: 'Third Payment',
paymentDate: 'April 8th',
},
{
paymentN: 'Fourth Payment',
paymentDate: 'April 21st',
},
])
);

const createPaymentPlan = ( amount, e ) => {
e.preventDefault();
let currentDate=new Date();
let finalPayment=paymentData.map((e)=>{
currentDate=new Date(new Date().setDate(currentDate.getDate()+1))
e.paymentDate=currentDate;
return e
})
setPaymentData(finalPayment);
}
