+- `no-access-state-in-setstate`
+  - Forbids accessing component state with `this.state` within `this.setState`
+  calls, since React might batch multiple `this.setState` calls, thus resulting
+  in accessing old state. Enforces use of callback argument instead.
+    ```ts
+  // bad
+  this.setState({
+      counter: this.state.counter + 1
+  });
+  // good
+  this.setState(
+      prevState => ({ counter: prevState.counter + 1 })
+  );
+  ```
