I am trying to learn React by doing. Somehow, I am missing something very silly here. I have 2 calendars in my code. And I have used console logging to debug, as can be seen in the code.
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import {DatePicker} from 'rsuite';
import './styles.css';
import { AppContext } from '../Context';
function DateRangePickerCal(){
const [startDate, setStartDate] = useState("0");
const [endDate, setEndDate] = useState("0");
const updateSelection = () =>{
console.log("Method Update Selection called.")
if(document.getElementById('toDate').value !== undefined){
setEndDate(document.getElementById('toDate').value);
}
if(document.getElementById('fromDate').value !== undefined){
setStartDate(document.getElementById('fromDate').value);
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(document.getElementById('toDate').value));
console.log(JSON.stringify(document.getElementById('fromDate').value));
}
return (
<div>
<DatePicker onChange={updateSelection} id="toDate" appearance="default" placeholder="Default" style={{ width: 230 }} />
<DatePicker onChange={updateSelection} id="fromDate" appearance="default" placeholder="Default1" style={{ width: 230 }} />
</div>
);
}
export default DateRangePickerCal;
But I am seeing the following in the console: (The browser is rendering output from other components also.)
While trying to debug this I noticed that if I keep on changing the selection in the second calendar, it picks the correct value with lag.
I am not sure, if it is due to the 'React.StrictMode'
Please help me and please also let me know if there can be other reasons.

document.getElement...in React, instead use refs
