setState won't work in handleClick - reactjs

Question

my setState doesn't chance the state in the handleClick event handler.
I'm sure the handleClick works because it logs the param.
I'm kind of new to React so I must be overlooking something.
Does this mean there is something wrong with my handleClick function?
Any advice would be really appreciated!
import React from 'react';
import './Projects.css';
import Footer from '../../Components/Footer/Footer.js';
import ProjectPage from
'../../Components/ProjectPage/ProjectPage.js';
import { Redirect, Link } from 'react-router-dom';
class Projects extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state= {
title: "kaufmann house",
content: "charles",
}
this.getImages = this.getImages.bind(this);
}
getImages() {
var VisibilitySensor = require('react-visibility-sensor');
return this.props.projectList.map((post,index) =>
<div>
<div className="projects">
<VisibilitySensor onChange={isVisible =>
this._onChange(isVisible, post.title)}>
<img key={post.id} src={post.featureImage}
className='projectImage' alt='projectImage' onClick= .
{this.handleClick.bind(this, post.content)}/>
</VisibilitySensor>
</div>
</div>
)
}
_onChange = (isVisible, param) => {
isVisible && this.setState({title: param});
};
handleClick = (param) => {
console.log(param);
this.setState({content: param});
};
render() {
return (
<div>
<Link to={{pathname: `/ProjectPage/${this.state.title}`,
state: {
info: `${this.state.content}`}
}}>{this.getImages()}</Link>
<Link to={{pathname: `/ProjectPage/${this.state.title}`,
state: {
info: `${this.state.content}`}
}}>
<Footer title={this.state.title}/>
</Link>
</div>
)
}
}
export default Projects;

Answer 1

this.state= {
title: "kaufmann house",
content: "charles",
}
Your state contains title and content. You have to setState like below. Otherwise, your new state will not update correctly because you replaced the whole state object.
_onChange = (isVisible, param) => {
isVisible && this.setState({
...this.state,
title: param
});
};
handleClick = (param) => {
console.log(param);
this.setState({
...this.state,
content: param
});
};

I would suggest the following changes:
1) Move var VisibilitySensor = require('react-visibility-sensor');
to the top of your file to keep your component clean
import React from 'react';
import './Projects.css';
import Footer from '../../Components/Footer/Footer.js';
import ProjectPage from
'../../Components/ProjectPage/ProjectPage.js';
import { Redirect, Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import VisibilitySensor from 'react-visibility-sensor';
2) Regarding your click handler, it is a bad practice to create handler functions using bind, because this may cause a performance issue since a new function will be created on each render. you can use an arrow function and set data-[attribute]
to add data to your component
getImages() {
//var VisibilitySensor = require('react-visibility-sensor'); remove this line
return this.props.projectList.map((post,index) => (
<div key={post.id}>
<div className="projects">
<VisibilitySensor onChange={isVisible =>
this._onChange(isVisible, post.title)}>
<img src={post.featureImage}
data-content={post.content}
className='projectImage'
alt='projectImage'
onClick={this.handleClick}/>
</VisibilitySensor>
</div>
</div>
))
}
handleClick = (e) => {
var content = e.target.dataset.content;
this.setState((state) => ({
...state,
content
}))
}
