How can I do a function call only after one has executed in an onClick.
So I'm trying to set state in the on click, and then redirect to the other page. Something like this.

{data => {
return (



        <MenuItem selected={isHighlighted} component="div"
onClick={e => {
e.preventDefault();
() => data.setSidenav(path)
navigate(path)

}}

>

</MenuItem>

);
}}
</ContextConsumer>

  • MenuItem doesn't actually have any content inside it. But it's tricky to troubleshoot without seeing more code.

setState can take a callback:



this.setState({ some: 'thing' }, () =>
// do something here - only executes
// once setState has run
console.log(this.state.some)
)


So you could pass your navigate function to data.setSidenav and have it run as the setState callback. Alternatively, you could just have the navigate function in the setSidenav function since they both seem to take "path" as an argument.

  • You haven't posted the code where you actually setState, this answer is simply to demonstrate how to use the setState callback. Can you move the navigate function to where you actually use setState?
