I was trying to access Parent state when a function is called from Child component, for that created a function in Parent component and passed it to Child, issue is I am not able to access the state completely. for example on button click I add a new input field and a delete button, suppose I added 10 input fields, and added all of them in state array, but when i click delete button of second input field, the count I get from state is 1, similar if I click 5th delete button i get count as 4 and it only show me 4 items in state, but it has 10 items Here is an example link https://codesandbox.io/s/add-react-component-onclick-forked-t2i0ll?file=/src/index.js:0-869
import React, { useState } from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
const Input = ({ deleteRow, position }) => {
const handleDelete = () => deleteRow(position);
return (
<>
<input placeholder="Your input here" />
<button onClick={handleDelete}>Delete</button>
</>
);
};
const Form = () => {
const [inputList, setInputList] = useState([]);
const onDeleteRow = (position) => {
console.log("inputCount", inputList);
};
const onAddBtnClick = (event) => {
setInputList(
inputList.concat(
<Input
key={inputList.length}
position={inputList.length}
deleteRow={onDeleteRow}
/>
)
);
};
return (
<div>
<button onClick={onAddBtnClick}>Add input</button>
{inputList}
</div>
);
};
ReactDOM.render(<Form />, document.getElementById("form"));
It's called a stale closure.
You can avoid that by not storing react elements inside the state.
Example:
const Form = () => {
const [inputList, setInputList] = useState([]);
const onDeleteRow = (position) => {
console.log("inputCount", inputList);
};
const onAddBtnClick = (event) => {
setInputList([...inputList, inputList.length])
);
};
return (
<div>
<button onClick={onAddBtnClick}>Add input</button>
{inputList.map(item => (
<Input
key={item}
position={item}
deleteRow={onDeleteRow}
/>
)}
</div>
);
};
