Combining Multiple useState State Values in React

When working with React, particularly when creating custom hooks, you might find yourself juggling multiple state values that need to work in tandem. A common scenario involves managing pagination and search queries simultaneously. This can create a challenge, particularly when updating the state on user interactions. In this guide, we'll explore how to effectively combine multiple useState values in React to optimize performance and streamline your code.

The Problem

Imagine you have two custom hooks, usePagination and useSearch, managing the current page and search query, respectively. In your component, you may have code that looks something like this:

The Problematic Behavior

The trouble arises when you want to reset the current page any time the search query changes. The following logic results in two API calls:

This behavior is not ideal as it leads to unnecessary API calls, which can slow down your application and lead to a poor user experience. So, the question is: how can we efficiently combine the two state values without triggering multiple updates and API calls?

The Solution

The answer lies in combining the states into a single state object. This way, you can handle both the pagination and search query in one go, dramatically simplifying the state management logic.

Step 1: Create a Combined State

You can start by initializing a single state object to hold both currentPage and searchQuery like this:

Step 2: Modify the State Efficiently

To update the state, you can use a modified setter function that allows you to change specific parts of your state without losing the others. Here’s how you can define this setter:

Step 3: Use Your Custom Hook

To use this combined state in your component, your List component can look like this:

Benefits of This Approach

By combining your state values, you gain several benefits:

Reduced API Calls: Only one call is made when state is updated.

Cleaner Code: Managing a single state object simplifies your code.

Easier State Management: You can update multiple state values at once, making it easier to handle complex interactions.

Conclusion

Combining multiple useState values into one state object in React can dramatically simplify your state management and improve performance. By using a modified setter function with a custom hook, you can ensure your component remains efficient and responsive.

This approach not only enhances the user experience by reducing unnecessary API calls but also makes your code cleaner and easier to maintain. Remember, well-organized code leads to better performance and a more enjoyable development experience!

Now it's time to implement your new state management strategy in your React applications!
