have a select menu with some options. When I change the option in select menu I am setting the state of currentValue using setNewValue(event.target.value) and logging the new value of variable to the console.
However the value set for the variable is different from the value I am passing into setNewValue.
const classGrades = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
let [classGrade, setClassGrade] = useState(1)
let classSelect = () => {
return (
<div>
<select value={classGrade} onChange={(e) => {
setClassGrade(e.target.value)
console.log(I selected ${e.target.value}, so classgrade is now ${classGrade})
}}>
{classGrades.map(g => <option key={g} value={g}>{g}</option>)}
</select>
</div>
)
}
