React: Update the state in a promise loop

Time:01-29

I would like to update a state each time I receive a promise, in a loop. But my state only shows the last promise. I guess it's because, as the set state is asynchronous, it uses the Map available before the previous state updates. How can I achieve that without using a Promise.all?

const [dataList, setDataList] = useRef(new Map())

  useEffect(() => {
    ids.forEach(id => {
      getData(id).then(data => {
        if (data) {
          setDataList(dataList.set(id, data))
        }
      })
    })
  }, [ids])

It is related to how react works. It wait for all setState and pick the last one. If you wanna avoid this behaviour use an updater function like so :

const [dataList, setDataList] = useRef(new Map())

  useEffect(() => {
    ids.forEach(id => {
      getData(id).then(data => {
        if (data) {
          setDataList(dataList => {
           let newDataList = new Map(dataList);
           newDataList.set(id, data);
           return newDataList;
           })
        }
      })
    })
  }, [ids])

I think you can achieve it with async await this way:

useEffect(() => {
  ids.forEach(id => {
    async function fetchMyAPI() {
      const data = await getData(id);
      if (data) {
        setDataList(dataList.set(id, data))
      }
    }
    fetchMyAPI()
  })
}, [ids])
