SetState

The SetState action sets values in state. It takes an object as parameters, and sets each of those values to the state object. This is useful if you want to initialize state, set a flag after an action has executed (eg. to disable a button), or to set the result of a request to state.

Parameters

Object with key value pairs to set in state.
