带有更新状态对象的 useCallback - React.js

Question

I have a POST API call that I make on a button click. We have one large state object that gets sent as body for a POST call. This state object keeps getting updated based on different user interactions on the page.

function QuotePreview(props) {
  const [quoteDetails, setQuoteDetails] = useState({});
  const [loadingCreateQuote, setLoadingCreateQuote] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    if(apiResponse?.content?.quotePreview?.quoteDetails) {
      setQuoteDetails(apiResponse?.content?.quotePreview?.quoteDetails);
    }
  }, [apiResponse]);

  const onGridUpdate = (data) => {
    let subTotal = data.reduce((subTotal, {extendedPrice}) => subTotal + extendedPrice, 0);
    subTotal = Math.round((subTotal + Number.EPSILON) * 100) / 100

    setQuoteDetails((previousQuoteDetails) => ({
      ...previousQuoteDetails,
      subTotal: subTotal,
      Currency: currencySymbol,
      items: data,
    }));
  };

  const createQuote = async () => {
    try {
      setLoadingCreateQuote(true);
      const result = await usPost(componentProp.quickQuoteEndpoint, quoteDetails);
      if (result.data?.content) {
        /** TODO: next steps with quoteId & confirmationId */
        console.log(result.data.content);
      }
      return result.data;
    } catch( error ) {
      return error;
    } finally {
      setLoadingCreateQuote(false);
    }
  };

  const handleQuickQuote = useCallback(createQuote, [quoteDetails, loadingCreateQuote]);

  const handleQuickQuoteWithoutDeals = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    // remove deal if present
    if (quoteDetails.hasOwnProperty("deal")) {
      delete quoteDetails.deal;
    }
    handleQuickQuote();
  }

  const generalInfoChange = (generalInformation) =>{
    setQuoteDetails((previousQuoteDetails) => (
      {
        ...previousQuoteDetails,
        tier: generalInformation.tier,
      }
    ));
  }

  const endUserInfoChange = (endUserlInformation) =>{
    setQuoteDetails((previousQuoteDetails) => (
      {
        ...previousQuoteDetails,
        endUser: endUserlInformation,
      }
    ));
  }

  return (
    <div className="cmp-quote-preview">
      {/* child components [handleQuickQuote will be passed down] */}
    </div>
  );
}

when the handleQuickQuoteWithoutDeals function gets called, I am deleting a key from the object. But I would like to immediately call the API with the updated object. I am deleting the deal key directly here, but if I do it in an immutable way, the following API call is not considering the updated object but the previous one.

The only way I found around this was to introduce a new state and update it on click and then make use of the useEffect hook to track this state to make the API call when it changes. With this approach, it works in a weird way where it keeps calling the API on initial load as well and other weird behavior.

Is there a cleaner way to do this?

It's not clear how any children would call the handleQuickQuote callback, but if you are needing to close over in callback scope a "copy" of the quoteDetails details then I suggest the following small refactor to allow this parent component to use the raw createQuote function while children receive a memoized callback with the current quoteDetails enclosed.

Consume quoteDetails as an argument:

const createQuote = async (quoteDetails) => {
  try {
    setLoadingCreateQuote(true);
    const result = await usPost(componentProp.quickQuoteEndpoint, quoteDetails);
    if (result.data?.content) {
      /** TODO: next steps with quoteId & confirmationId */
      console.log(result.data.content);
    }
    return result.data;
  } catch( error ) {
    return error;
  } finally {
    setLoadingCreateQuote(false);
  }
};

Memoize an "anonymous" callback that passes in the quoteDetails value:

const handleQuickQuote = useCallback(
  () => createQuote(quoteDetails),
  [quoteDetails]
);

Create a shallow copy of quoteDetails , delete the property, and call createQuote :

const handleQuickQuoteWithoutDeals = (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  const quoteDetailsCopy = { ...quoteDetails };

  // remove deal if present
  if (quoteDetailsCopy.hasOwnProperty("deal")) {
    delete quoteDetailsCopy.deal;
  }
  createQuote(quoteDetailsCopy);
}
