Reacjs/Graphql: Pass variables values to query from event - reactjs

Question

So the code below is updating the state of inputValue but for some reason that value is not be passed to the query as the following error is shown:
[GraphQL error]: Message: Variable "$timestamp" of required type "Float!" was not provided., Location: [object Object], Path: undefined
So my question is how do I assign the inputValue to timestamp and pass timestamp to the getObjectsQuery?
class Calendar extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
inputValue: ""
};
this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
}
handleSubmit = event => {
event.preventDefault();
console.log(this.state.inputValue);
this.setState({
inputValue: new Date(document.getElementById("time").value).valueOf()
}); //Parent component contains submit button and there lives state. Submit handler should only set value in state with...setState()- NOT directly
this.props.data.refetch({
//For some reason
timestamp: this.state.inputvalue
});
console.log(this.state.inputValue);
};
render() {
console.log(this.props);
return (
<div className="Calendar">
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit.bind(this)}>
<label>Date/Time</label>
<input type="datetime-local" id="time" step="1" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</div>
//{this.render(){return (<UserList />)};
);
}
}
export default graphql(getObjectsQuery, {
options: props => ({
variables: {
timestamp: props.inputvalue
}
})
})(Calendar);

I know it's already solved in another place Reactjs/Graphql: TypeError: Object(...) is not a function
Just to remember (as you stil not learned):
handleSubmit = event => {
event.preventDefault();
console.log(this.state.inputValue); // OLD VALUE
this.setState({
inputValue: new Date(document.getElementById("time").value).valueOf()
});
this.props.data.refetch({
//For some reason
timestamp: this.state.inputvalue
// THERE IS STILL OLD VALUE
// because setState work asynchronously
// IT WILL BE UPDATED LATER
});
console.log(this.state.inputValue); // STILL OLD VALUE
};
To use value from event you could simply use its value, not passing it through 'async buffer' (state).
handleSubmit = event => {
event.preventDefault();
console.log(this.state.inputValue); // OLD VALUE
const timestamp = new Date(document.getElementById("time").value).valueOf()
console.log(timestamp); // NEW VALUE
// use new value directly
this.props.data.refetch({
timestamp: +timestamp
// convert to int
});
// save in state - IF NEEDED at all
this.setState({
inputValue: timestamp
});
};
Of course using setState callback is a quite good workaround, too.
Keep in ming that you can have 2 renders - one when state changes and second when data arrives. If storing value in state isn't really required you can avoid one unnecessary rendering.
