React setState not updating state

Question

So I have this:

let total = newDealersDeckTotal.reduce(function(a, b) {
  return a + b;
},
0);

console.log(total, \'t         


        

Answer 1

setState() is usually asynchronous, which means that at the time you console.log the state, it's not updated yet. Try putting the log in the callback of the setState() method. It is executed after the state change is complete:

this.setState({ dealersOverallTotal: total }, () => {
  console.log(this.state.dealersOverallTotal, 'dealersOverallTotal1');
});
