JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
Clicking the button element should toggle the visibility property in state between true and false .

getting this issue state in above line
function toggleVisibility() isn’t returning true or false value after setting state in that!

Your code so far


class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
  super(props);
  this.state = {
    visibility: false
  };
  // Change code below this line
this.toggleVisibility = this.toggleVisibility.bind(this);
  // Change code above this line
}
// Change code below this line
toggleVisibility () {
this.setState(state =>{
  visibility : !state.visibility
})
}
// Change code above this line
render() {
  if (this.state.visibility) {
    return (
      <div>
        <button onClick ={this.toggleVisibility}>Click Me</button>
        <h1>Now you see me!</h1>
      </div>
    );
  } else {
    return (
      <div>
        <button onClick={this.toggleVisibility}>Click Me</button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
}

Your setState function doesn’t return an object at the moment, because JavaScript interprets the opening curly brace (after the arrow) as the beginning of the function body. To prevent this, all you have to do is add a set of brackets to wrap your object:

toggleVisibility () {
this.setState(state =>({
  visibility : !state.visibility
}))
}
