What is the purpose of callback function as an argument of `setState()`?

The callback function is invoked when setState finished and the component gets rendered. Since setState() is asynchronous the callback function is used for any post action.

Note: It is recommended to use lifecycle method rather than this callback function.

setState({ name: 'John' }, () => console.log('The name has updated and component re-rendered'));
