How to apply data into useState constant?

I was trying to set a value to a input, and I usead setState to update the value of the Input, but now I cant use the variable I was going to use in the Value inside Input.

This is the Input

<input
type="text"
className="mt-1 focus:ring-indigo-500 focus:border-[#604d9b] block w-full shadow-sm sm:text-sm border-gray-300 rounded-md"
value={name}
placeholder="Type any name you want"
onChange={(e) => setName(e.target.value)}
/>

and this is my hook.

const [name, setName] = useState('');

Now, I want to apply this variable but I cant do it directly to the constant inside the useState

userData[0]?.name;

Anyone knows how to apply my

userData[0]?.name;

Into

const [name, setName] = useState('');

You can use useEffect to handle this kind of problems:

useEffect(() => {
   if(userData[0]?.name){
      setName(userData[0]?.name)
    }
 },[userData])

It sounds like you're trying to set the initial value for your name state.

If this is the case, you can simply pass it as an argument to useState:

const [name, setName] = useState(userData[0]?.name || '');
