VisualizaçõesReact js pushing new object to array always replace last object instead of insert
I am having message listing, and appending live message received from socket, one object inserted from socket, but after that it always replace the last one instead of insert new.
const [chatList, setChatList] = useState(props.chatList ? props.chatList : []);
useEffect(() => {
const messageListener = (message) => {
console.log('message',message);
console.log('chatList',chatList);
if(message.conversation_id == props.conversation_id){
const updatedMsgs = [...chatList,message];
setChatList(updatedMsgs);
}
};
socket.on('myEventName', messageListener);
return () => {
socket.off('myEventName', messageListener);
};
}, [props.conversation_id]);
New message and Messagelist log look like

Looks like a stale enclosure of the chatList state. Use a functional state update to update from the previous state and not the state value closed over in callback scope, setChatList(list => [...list, message]);.
useEffect(() => {
const messageListener = (message) => {
console.log('message',message);
console.log('chatList',chatList);
if (message.conversation_id == props.conversation_id) {
setChatList(list => [...list, message]);
}
};
socket.on('myEventName', messageListener);
return () => {
socket.off('myEventName', messageListener);
};
}, [props.conversation_id]);

This issue does occurs due to the Stale Closures in Javascript.
Hooks heavily rely on JavaScript closures. That's why hooks are so expressive and simple. But closures are sometimes tricky.
Here is the example:
function DelayedCount() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
function handleClickAsync() {
setTimeout(function delay() {
setCount(count + 1);
}, 1000);
}
return (
<div>
{count}
<button onClick={handleClickAsync}>Increase async</button>
</div>
);
}
If you quickly click the button 2 times, then it increase the count by 1 only, instead of 2.
On each click setTimeout(delay, 1000) schedules the execution of delay() after 1 second. delay() captures the variable count as being 0.
Both delay() closures (because 2 clicks have been made) update the state to the same value: setCount(count + 1) = setCount(0 + 1) = setCount(1).
All because the delay() closure of the second click has captured the outdated count variable as being 0.
To fix the problem, We need to use a functional way setCount(count => count + 1) to update count state:
...
function handleClickAsync() {
setTimeout(function delay() {
setCount(count => count + 1);
}, 1000);
}
...
Now the button does work as expected.
