How to make a custom debounce hook works with a useCallback? - reactjs

Question

I did search for those related issues and found some solutions, but most about the lodash debounce. In my case, I create useDebounce as a custom hook and return the value directly.
My current issue is useCallback works with an old debounced value.
Here are my code snips.
//To makes sure that the code is only triggered once per user input and send the request then.
export const useDebounce = (value, delay) => {
const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState(value);
useEffect(() => {
const timeout = setTimeout(() => setDebouncedValue(value), delay);
return () => clearTimeout(timeout);
}, [value, delay]);
return debouncedValue;
};
useDebounce works as expected
export const ShopQuantityCounter = ({ id, qty }) => {
const [value, setValue] = useState(qty);
const debounceInput = useDebounce(value, 300);
const dispatch = useDispatch();
const handleOnInputChange = useCallback((e) => {
setValue(e.target.value);
console.info('Inside OnChange: debounceInput', debounceInput);
// dispatch(updateCartItem({ id: id, quantity: debounceInput }));
},[debounceInput]);
console.info('Outside OnChange: debounceInput', debounceInput);
// To fixed issue that useState set method not reflecting change immediately
useEffect(() => {
setValue(qty);
}, [qty]);
return (
<div className="core-cart__quantity">
<input
className="core-cart__quantity--total"
type="number"
step="1"
min="1"
title="Qty"
value={value}
pattern="^[0-9]*[1-9][0-9]*$"
onChange={handleOnInputChange}
/>
</div>
);
};
export default ShopQuantityCounter;
Here are screenshots with console.info to explain what the issue is.
Current quantity
Updated with onChange
I do appreciate it if you have any solution to fix it, and also welcome to put forward any code that needs updates.

This might help you achieve what you want. You can create a reusable debounce function with the callback like below.
export const useDebounce = (value, delay) => {
const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState(value);
let timeout;
const setDebounce = (newValue) => {
clearTimeout(timeout);
timeout = setTimeout(() => setDebouncedValue(newValue), delay);
};
return [debouncedValue, setDebounce];
};
And use the function on your code like this.
export const ShopQuantityCounter = ({ id, qty }) => {
const [value, setValue] = useState(qty);
const [debounceInput, setDebounceInput] = useDebounce(value, 300);
const dispatch = useDispatch();
const handleOnInputChange = useCallback((e) => {
setDebounceInput(e.target.value);
console.info('Inside OnChange: debounceInput', debounceInput);
// dispatch(updateCartItem({ id: id, quantity: debounceInput }));
},[debounceInput]);
console.info('Outside OnChange: debounceInput', debounceInput);
// To fixed issue that useState set method not reflecting change immediately
useEffect(() => {
setValue(qty);
}, [qty]);
return (
<div className="core-cart__quantity">
<input
className="core-cart__quantity--total"
type="number"
step="1"
min="1"
title="Qty"
value={value}
pattern="^[0-9]*[1-9][0-9]*$"
onChange={handleOnInputChange}
/>
</div>
);
};
export default ShopQuantityCounter;
