When I save an array to a state and then read it back again I get the error Type 'string[]' is not assignable to type 'never[]' what is this all about?

I made a code sandbox here: https://codesandbox.io/s/affectionate-pasteur-kj5h0 where the code runs but shows the error in red underlines

If you strongly type the generic param for useState you're all good

const [state, setState] = useState<{ array1: string[] }>({ array1: [] });

you can extract { array1: string[] } to a type to make this easier to read if you prefer. I inlined it for simplicity
Argument of type 'any[]' is not assignable to parameter of type 'SetStateAction<{ array1: string[]; }>'. still get this when I try to set a whole array as the new state: `` tempArr.push(...data.data); setStateOfMyArr(tempArr);
looks like you're trying to push an array onto an array instead of concating, but i'd ask a different question
