You mean giving a starting value to a useState with a initializer function? Or if you’re initializing your useState with a value coming from props?

No, React won’t re-init your state, that’s what useState is for, as long as you don’t unmount and remount the component it’ll keep it’s latest local value (will only change if something calls setState), for React only the first time it’s assigned counts, in the following re-renders that line is ignored

If I couldn’t solve the question, would you mind being a little more specific?

Easy way to test it, just mount <Parent /> anywhere in your app:

// Add the "use client" directive if you're in Next

export function Parent() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(0);

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log("Parent: " + value);
  }, [value]);

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Parentvalue: {counter}</p>
      <button onClick={() => setValue(value + 1)}>Increment parent counter</button>
      <Child value={value} />
    </div>
  );
}

function Child({ value }: { value: number }) {
  const [counter, setCounter] = useState(value);

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log("Child: " + counter);
  }, [value, counter]);

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Child value: {counter}</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCounter(counter + 1)}>Increment child counter</button>
    </div>
  );
}

@Greater Swiss Mountain Dog solved?

Of course, it is re-rendered

At first rendering, initial state value and at rerendering, updated state value

I don’t think that was the question

@luis_llanes yes ! indeed, initialValue not update when re-render.

Was that the issue or I understood it completely wrong?

No, During useState rendering, state is updated

I'm sorry but I think this user is a bot, or at least acts like one

Kidding?

Do you want me to explain about useState

I've been working with full stack for over 5 years

Hey

Do you know the correct process of the rendering?

Hello, @luis_llanes , I am here to give you the correct concept of render

well, at least from this example you provided,
React won’t re-init the state.

And always. React only in initializes the State once, when the component mounts.

some misunderstanding between us.

I meant, while calling useState hook, update value is called.

@luis_llanes yes, thanks.

Nice! Mark the answers so other can find the solution as well!
