1// Correct
2this.setState(function(state, props) {
3  return {
4    counter: state.counter + props.increment
5  };
6});

1return {
2  ...state,
3  (updates here)
4}

1  const [a, b] = React.useState(['hi','world']);
2  const dup = [...a]; //won't work without spread operator
3  b(dup);

1You have to use setState() for updating state in React
2{
3  hasBeenClicked: false,
4  currentTheme: 'blue',
5}
6
7setState({
8	hasBeenClicked: true
9});
