Trigger completeMethod in PrimeReact Autocomplete on callback - reactjs

Question

I am using primereact's Autocomplete component. The challenge is that I don't want to set the options array to the state when the component loads; but instead I fire an api call when the user has typed in the first 3 letters, and then set the response as the options array (This is because otherwise the array can be large, and I dont want to bloat the state memory).
const OriginAutocomplete = () => {
const [origins, setOrigins] = useState([]);
const [selectedOrigin, setSelectedOrigin] = useState(null);
const [filteredOrigins, setFilteredOrigins] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
if (!selectedOrigin || selectedOrigin.length < 3) {
setOrigins([]);
}
if (selectedOrigin && selectedOrigin.length === 3) {
getOrigins(selectedOrigin).then(origins => {
setOrigins([...origins]);
});
}
}, [selectedOrigin, setOrigins]);
const handleSelect = (e) => {
//update store
}
const searchOrigin = (e) => {
//filter logic based on e.query
}
return (
<>
<AutoComplete
value={selectedOrigin}
suggestions={ filteredOrigins }
completeMethod={searchOrigin}
field='code'
onChange={(e) => { setSelectedOrigin(e.value) }}
onSelect={(e) => { handleSelect(e) }}
className={'form-control'}
placeholder={'Origin'}
/>
</>
)
}
Now the problem is that the call is triggered when I type in 3 letters, but the options is listed only when I type in the 4th letter.
That would have been okay, infact I tried changing the code to fire the call when I type 2 letters; but then this works as expected only when I key in the 3rd letter after the api call has completed, ie., I type 2 letters, wait for the call to complete and then key in the 3rd letter.
How do I make the options to be displayed when the options array has changed?
I tried setting the filteredOrigins on callback
getOrigins(selectedOrigin).then(origins => {
setOrigins([...origins]);
setFilteredOrigins([...origins])
});
But it apparently doesn't seem to work.

Figured it out. Posting the answer in case someone ponders upon the same issue.
I moved the code inside useEffect into the searchOrigin function.
SO the searchOrigin functions goes like below:
const searchOrigin = (e) => {
const selectedOrigin = e.query;
if (!selectedOrigin || selectedOrigin.length === 2) {
setOrigins([]);
setFilteredOrigins([]);
}
if (selectedOrigin && selectedOrigin.length === 3) {
getOrigins(selectedOrigin).then(origins => {
setOrigins([...origins]);
setFilteredOrigins(origins);
});
}
if (selectedOrigin && selectedOrigin.length > 3) {
const filteredOrigins = (origins && origins.length) ? origins.filter((origin) => {
return origin.code
.toLowerCase()
.startsWith(e.query.toLowerCase()) ||
origin.name
.toLowerCase()
.startsWith(e.query.toLowerCase()) ||
origin.city
.toLowerCase()
.startsWith(e.query.toLowerCase())
}) : [];
setFilteredOrigins(filteredOrigins);
}
}
