State ToggleVisibility

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

I have the code set to turning from false to true. Not sure how to code it to turn true back to false.

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({
    visibility: true 
  })
  
}

  // 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>
      );
    }
  }
};

Try using an IF statement to make it true if its false and false if its true

Thanks for the response. I have tried a few ways to use a conditional. I am not familiar how code “if” in react using setState and a property and value;
I have also tried using myComponet.state.visibility this.state.visibility, and this.visibility. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

In react, you can add regular JS code above the return method (and in the return method via JSX). So you can create a simple if statement around the visibility and if it is true can change visibility to false via this.setstate, or vice versa
