setState
is an async function. React may batch a bunch of setState
s together.
So the value of this.state.count
is the value at the time you make the request.
A better solutions to call a function that gets evaluated at the time the setState gets executed.
this.setState((prevState, props) => ({
counter: prevState.counter + 1
}));
