I am trying to use useEffect() in my react hook to update the state when my props change. but there is a delay and the useEffect is only firing after I click again on an element in my hook. Im fairly new to using hooks and any help would be appreciated. Thanks
function ImageOrderSelect (props) {
const [clicked, setClicked] = useState(false)
const [options, setOptions] = useState(props.options)
const [current, setCurrent] = useState(props.current)
useEffect(() => {
setCurrent(props.current)
}, [props.current])
if(!clicked){
return (
<div className="image-order-select-icon" onClick={() => setClicked(!clicked)}>
<FontAwesomeIcon size="lg" icon={faCircle} />
<p>{current}</p>
</div>
)
} else if(clicked){
return (
<div className="image-order-select">
{optionsList}
</div>
)
}
}
useEffect(() => {
setTimeout(()=>{
setCurrent(props.current)
}, 1000)
}, [props.current])
You just need to add timeout/delay before displaying the current...
