withState vs. withStateHandlers

Question

The docs @ https://github.com/acdlite/recompose/blob/master/docs/API.md#withstate says this regarding withState

You'll likely want to use this state updater along with withHandlers() to create specific updater functions.

Then it has a separate function withStateHandlers() which seems similar though in a slightly different form.

In terms of practical use and why one would be used instead of the other, how do they differ?

Answer 1

Actually withStateHandlers() hasn't appeared until recently version of recompose. I'd recommend that use withStateHandlers() instead of combining withState() and withHandlers() if you can.

The doc under withState() probably need update.
