Is it correct to use await setState()?

Question

my function looks like this:

this.setState(prevState => ({
 time : prevState.time + 1
}), function() {
 doSomethingWithNewState(this.state.time)
})

is it correct to use await in this situation? like this:

await this.setState(prevState => ({
 time : prevState.time + 1
}));
doSomethingWithNewState(this.state.time);

Answer 1

No this.setState doesn't return a promise.

So you can't use await in this case. You need to use the callback.
