  1. Hi, I’m using classes, Parent and Child and trying to set a new state value after the DOM has loaded. I can see that you mention state does not update after setState() and kind of show how to get around that, but I feel your not providing a clear enough picture for us React nubes on how to force a state change to be recognized. I’ve been at for a few days and am a bit stumped. I just keep seeing the old value. Updates are firing and passing the old value back to the child class.
