How to use `setState` callback on react hooks

React hooks introduces useState for setting component state. But how can I use hooks to replace the callback like the below code:

setState(

  { name: "Michael" },

  () => console.log(this.state)

);

I want to do something after the state is updated.

I know I can use useEffect to do the extra things but I have to check the state previous value which requires a bit code. I am looking for a simple solution that can be used with useState hook.

const [counter, setCounter] = useState(0);



const doSomething = () => {

  setCounter(123);

}



useEffect(() => {

   console.log('Do something after counter has changed', counter);

}, [counter]);

Wrapping setState in a promise allows to trigger an arbitrary action after completion:



import React, {useState} from 'react'



function App() {

  const [count, setCount] = useState(0)



  function handleClick(){

    Promise.resolve()

      .then(() => { setCount(count => count+1)})

      .then(() => console.log(count))

  }





  return (

    <button onClick= {handleClick}> Increase counter </button>

  )

}

export default App;
