ViewsReact-Bootstrap Form.Check weird behaviour on first click
I'm trying to do filtering on a list of objects, and have made a useState object which will hold the state of all filters, which looks like this:
const [filterState, setFilterState] = useState({
"sell": false,
"buy": false,
"startDate": "",
"endDate": "",
"location": "",
"music": false,
"theatre": false,
"movie": false,
});
I'm using two Form.Check from "react-bootstrap" to change the "sell" and "buy" fields, but they are giving me some issues, the filterState object doesn't change until I have clicked the Form.Check objects twice, only the UI updates correctly, which is weird when the filterState object decides the checked state. So what is shown is the opposite of what the filterState object's state is.
Code for the Form.Check fields:
<Form.Check checked={filterState.buy} onChange={onBuyChange} id="buy" type="checkbox" label={`Ønskes kjøpt`}/>
<Form.Check checked={filterState.sell} onChange={onSellChange} id="sell" type="checkbox" label={`Til salgs`}/>
The onChange functions:
const onSellChange = () => {
setFilterState({
...filterState,
"sell": !filterState.sell
}
);
console.log(filterState);
}
const onBuyChange = () => {
setFilterState({
...filterState,
"buy": !filterState.buy
}
);
console.log(filterState);
}
Examples
Initial state:
Clicking once doesn't change the state:
Clicking again updates the state, but it's now it's of sync:
Printing before and after setFilterState
Another weird behavior I get is that printing the filterState before and after setFilterState gives the same output. Should filterState be changed before it goes to the next line? Is setFilterState working asynchronously somehow, which can make Form.Check read from it before the value has changed?

Can you try this?
const onSellChange = () => {
setFilterState(filterState => ({
...filterState,
"sell": !filterState.sell
})
);
}
const onBuyChange = () => {
setFilterState(filterState => ({
...filterState,
"buy": !filterState.buy
})
);
}
I cannot guarantee it will work but it feels like the problem has to do with the way state is derived so I made your setters pick up the previous one called async. That way React should be able to resolve it correctly.

Solution
useState's set function runs asynchronously, so I needed useEffect.
Using useEffect:
useEffect(() => {
filterEvents();
}, [filterState]);
With the same code as above, this filters the events displayed whenever the filterState changes, which is what I needed. Thanks to Juho Vepsäläinen for the help.
