更新对象的 useState 数组中的 object 值

Question

I am currently struggling with changing a couple of states that I currently have in my web app. The state is as follows:

const [points, setPoint] = useState([]);

Which stores the data like this:

0: (2) [{…}, {…}]
1: (2) [{…}, {…}]

In other words, the array contains each an array of two objects. The content looks like this;

0:
elementId: 0
elementPosX: 615
elementPosY: 171
1:
elementId: "liiMJzWgphZPbnx"
elementPosX: 618.5
elementPosY: 317

I want to search if x is equal to the elementId , and then change the values directly linked to this object. How can I achieve this?

I have found a way to edit an object in a regular single array of objects like so:

setPoint(singlePoint.map(x => {
  if (x.id !== id) return x
  return { ...x, position: { x: xPosition - 365, y: yPosition - 80 } }
}))

This works, but I'm not sure if there is an easier way of doing this?

Answer 1

If you care about the array order. You have first to find the element index and then update it:

setPoint((allPoints) => {
  const index = allPoint.findIndex((element) => element.id === x.id);
  allPoints[index] = {
    ...x,
    position: { x: xPosition - 365, y: yPosition - 80 },
  };
  return allPoints;
});
