advanced patterns with useEffect and localStorage in React when updating state
I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. Can someone help me understand I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm working with an scenario where my component is not updating as expected after I save a value to `localStorage`. I'm using the `useEffect` hook to synchronize a state variable with `localStorage`, but it seems that the state does not reflect the updated value right away, causing my UI to display stale information. Here's the relevant code snippet: ```javascript import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; const MyComponent = () => { const [name, setName] = useState(''); useEffect(() => { const storedName = localStorage.getItem('name'); if (storedName) { setName(storedName); } }, []); const handleChange = (event) => { const newName = event.target.value; setName(newName); localStorage.setItem('name', newName); // This line seems problematic }; return ( <div> <input type='text' value={name} onChange={handleChange} /> <p>Your name is: {name}</p> </div> ); }; export default MyComponent; ``` When I type into the input field, the `name` state updates immediately, but the `<p>` tag displays the old value until I refresh the page. I've tried logging the `name` state right after calling `setName(newName)` and it shows the updated value, yet the rendered output does not reflect this until a full page reload. I'm using React version 17.0.2, and this scenario occurs in both Chrome and Firefox. Is there something fundamental Iām missing about how state updates work in React, or is there a question with how I'm interacting with `localStorage`? Any guidance would be appreciated! This is part of a larger service I'm building. My development environment is Linux. Has anyone else encountered this? I recently upgraded to Javascript latest. Cheers for any assistance! I'm working on a REST API that needs to handle this.
