Store api response to an array using react useState - reactjs

Question

I am new to react hooks. I am trying to cast API response into an array using react useState hook. It's giving me empty with the below approach
const [post, setPostArray] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
const postparams = { userList: result };
axios
.get(environment._urlPosts, { headers, params: postparams })
.then(posts => {
// storing response data in array
setPostArray(posts.data.post);
console.log(post);
})
.catch(err => {});
}, []);
Then I used the below approach and I was able to see data is printing in the console log
axios.get(environment._urlPosts, { headers, params: postparams }).then(posts => {
// storing response data in array
for (let obj of posts.data.post) {
post.push(obj)
}
setPostArray(post)
console.log(post)
But when I try to iterate this post array in my JSX, it's giving me empty array.
</div>
{/* array length */}
{post.length}
{post.map(post =>
<div className="card">
<Post username={post.username} fullname={post.fullname} postedTime={post.postedTime} postContent='Hi' tweeterLike={post.tweeterLike} />
</div>
)}
Can you please help me to resolve this?

Here is a minimal Example of what you are trying to achieve.
This is the working code:
import React, {useEffect, useState} from "react";
import "./styles.css";
export default function App() {
const [post, setPostArray] = useState([])
useEffect(() => {
fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => {
console.log(json);
setPostArray([json]);
})
// setPostArray([{name: 'a'}, {name: 'b'},{name: 'c'}])
},[])
console.log(post)
return (
<div className="App">
{
post.map(item => <div>{item.title} </div>)
}
</div>
);
}
