Hello StackOverflow Community
I am trying to update the state of a json object using setState in a child component but its not working. The data attribute is empty. What am I doing wrong?
App.JS
const [userData, setUserData] = useState({
firstName: "",
lastName:"",
email: "",
code:"",
})
return (
<div>
<Child parentInfo = {{userData, setUserData}} />
</div>
)
Child.js
function Join({parentInfo}) {
...
parentInfo.setUserData({
...response.data,
code: response.data.code});
}
return(
<header className="form-header">
<h2>{parentInfo.userData}</h2>
{parentInfo.userData}
</header>
)
Where response is the same json but filled with some more data. But Code attribute is empty even after doing a setState though reponse.data contains a value for code.
eg
response.data = {firstName: "test",
lastName:"test",
email: "test",
code:"123",
}
