Losing useState Value on Refresh in React.js

I am sending an id from ProductListing Component and I am receiving that id using useParams in ProductDetail Component. In ProductDetail Component I am finding an object using find method and then I am setting it into singleProduct state. On refresh I get singleProduct is undefined.

imports

import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { NavLink, useParams } from "react-router-dom";
import Loading from "../other/Loading";

state

const ProductDetail = () => {
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
  const [products, setProducts] = useState([]);
  const [singleProduct, setSingleProduct] = useState({});

receiving an id using useParams

  const { id } = useParams();

useEffect

  useEffect(() => {
   //GETTING PRODUCTS ARRAY
    getProductListingData();
   //FINDING A SINGLE OBJECT
    getProductID();
  }, []);

getting products array

const getProductListingData = async () => {
    try {
      const response = await fetch("http://localhost:8000/productListing");
      const data = await response.json();
      if (data) {
        setLoading(false);
        setProducts(data.products);
      } else {
        setProducts("PRODUCT LISTING DATA NOT FOUND");
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
    }
  };

  if (loading) {
    return <Loading loadingProductListing="Loading Product List" />;
  }

  const getProductID = () => {
    let foundProduct = {};
    foundProduct = products.find((item) => {
      return item.id === parseInt(id);
    });
    setSingleProduct(foundProduct);
  };

  // console.log("product ID = ", productID, typeof productID);
  console.log("products = ", products);
  console.log("singleproduct = ", singleProduct);

JSX

use localstorage

npm install reactjs-localstorage

in your project :

import {reactLocalStorage} from 'reactjs-localstorage';

set and get your value everywhere you want

reactLocalStorage.set('var', true);
reactLocalStorage.get('var', true);
reactLocalStorage.setObject('var', {'test': 'test'});
reactLocalStorage.getObject('var');
reactLocalStorage.remove('var');
reactLocalStorage.clear();

source : https://www.npmjs.com/package/reactjs-localstorage

You can't persist the data on page refresh with useState hook, better way is to pass that id as url params and check if there is any id in url then fetch the product. your single page route should accept a param like.

"/route/:id"

You can check this code snippet. How to set and get route params in react

const getProductID = (tempProducts) => {
let foundProduct = {};
foundProduct = tempProducts.find((item) => {
  return item.id === parseInt(id);
});
setSingleProduct(foundProduct);
};

That's a normal behaviour, state is being reset on refresh per specification. If you want to preserve it you need to make use of localStorage/sessionStorage/cookies etc.

Which is best way?

Well I would say that the second approach is better. I would avoid keeping copy of state in localstorage. I would only keep some kind of token/id (in your case uid) which uniquely identify the user and would fetch fresh data every time. When your application grows it can be hard to manage those states in localstorage.
