Why can’t you call this.setState from within the render method?

const [ user, setUser ] = useState(JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('profile'))); //convert to object

const logout = () =>{
        dispatch({type: 'LOGOUT'});
        history.push("/");
        setUser(null);
    }

    useEffect(()=>{
        const token = user?.token;

        //JWT check if token expired
        if(token){
            const decodedToken = decode(token)
            if(decodedToken.exp*1000 < newDate().getTime()) logout();
        }
        setUser(JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('profile')))
    },[location])

const [animateHeader, setAnimateHeader] = useState(false)

useEffect(() => {
  const listener = () =>
  window.scrollY > 140 ? setAnimateHeader(true) : setAnimateHeader(false)
  window.addEventListener('scroll', listener)
  return () => {
    window.removeEventListener('scroll', listener)
  }
}, [])

// Example usage with TailwindCSS:
<div className={`bg-header/75 transition duration-500 ease-in-out ${animateHeader && 'bg-header/[0.95]'}`}>...</div>

function App() {
  const [checked, setChecked] = useState(false);
  const toggleChecked = () => setChecked(value => !value);
  return (
    <input
      type="checkbox"
      checked={checked}
      onChange={toggleChecked}
    />
  );
}

// making all uppercase
city.toUpperCase();

//removing spaces and making all lowercase
city = city.trim().toLowerCase();

//capitalizing the first letter
cityCapitalized = city.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + city.slice(1);

onClick={() => window.open(url, "_blank")}
