Form submission leads to stale state in React with useReducer - how to prevent it?
I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm experiencing an scenario where my form state does not update correctly when submitting in a React application using `useReducer`. The form is supposed to reflect the latest input values, but when I submit, it seems to revert to the initial state. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```javascript import React, { useReducer } from 'react'; const initialState = { name: '', email: '' }; function reducer(state, action) { switch (action.type) { case 'SET_NAME': return { ...state, name: action.payload }; case 'SET_EMAIL': return { ...state, email: action.payload }; case 'RESET': return initialState; default: throw new behavior(); } } function MyForm() { const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState); const handleSubmit = (event) => { event.preventDefault(); console.log('Submitting:', state); // This logs the initial state instead of updated values dispatch({ type: 'RESET' }); // This resets the state even if submission fails }; return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}> <input type='text' value={state.name} onChange={(e) => dispatch({ type: 'SET_NAME', payload: e.target.value })} /> <input type='email' value={state.email} onChange={(e) => dispatch({ type: 'SET_EMAIL', payload: e.target.value })} /> <button type='submit'>Submit</button> </form> ); } export default MyForm; ``` I'm using React 17.0.2 and the form does not seem to capture the latest inputs when I log the state on submission. It looks like the `handleSubmit` function is referencing stale state. I've tried using `useEffect` to log the state, but it doesn't help resolve the scenario. I suspect that this might be related to how I am resetting the state right after submitting, but I'm unsure how to maintain the updated state for submission. Any suggestions on best practices to handle this or how to ensure that the latest state is available during submission? Any ideas what could be causing this?
