React useEffect Hook Not Triggering on State Change with Functional Updates
I can't seem to get I'm converting an old project and I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm working with an scenario where my `useEffect` hook is not triggering when I update state using functional updates. I'm using React 17 and the following code snippet illustrates the question: ```javascript import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; const Counter = () => { const [count, setCount] = useState(0); useEffect(() => { console.log('Count has changed:', count); }, [count]); const incrementCount = () => { setCount(prevCount => prevCount + 1); }; return ( <div> <p>Count: {count}</p> <button onClick={incrementCount}>Increment</button> </div> ); }; export default Counter; ``` When I click the increment button, I expect to see the updated count in the console. However, the `useEffect` does not log the new count value as expected. Instead, it seems to log the previous value of `count`. I have checked that the `incrementCount` function correctly updates the state, but the `useEffect` isn't reflecting this change. I've tried using the `useEffect` dependency array correctly but it still behaves unexpectedly. I also logged the `prevCount` inside the `incrementCount` function, and it correctly shows the updated value. What could be causing the `useEffect` not to trigger with the latest state? Is there something Iām missing about functional updates in React? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! For context: I'm using Javascript on Linux. Any ideas what could be causing this? The stack includes Javascript and several other technologies. I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Javascript. Thanks for your help in advance! I'm developing on Ubuntu 20.04 with Javascript. Thanks in advance!
