How to Update h2 Text in React.js Upon Button Click

Have you ever faced a situation in React.js where you need to display a button's text in a header or another element upon a button click? You're not alone! Many developers encounter this challenge, but fear not—there's a straightforward solution to it. In this guide, we will walk through a common scenario where the button text needs to be shown in an <h2> tag after clicking the button and how to implement it using React.js.

Understanding the Problem

The initial attempt to update the <h2> element with the button's text might look something like this:

What Went Wrong?

In the code above, the issue arises because the variable theText is scoped within the handleClick function. This means it cannot be directly accessed outside of that function. Consequently, the <h2> element does not receive the updated value of theText, resulting in the header remaining unchanged despite the button click.

The Solution: Using React's useState Hook

To dynamically update a component's state and reflect changes in the UI, we can utilize React's built-in useState hook. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown on how to achieve this:

Step 1: Import the useState Hook

Make sure to import the useState hook from React at the beginning of your file:

Step 2: Initialize State

Modify the component to include a state variable for theText using useState. This will allow us to store and update the button text whenever it is clicked.

Step 3: Update the State on Button Click

Now, modify the handleClick function to use setTheText. This function will update the state to reflect the button text whenever it gets clicked.

Step 4: Returning the Updated JSX

Finally, the rendering of your component should now be able to access the updated theText state and display it in the <h2> tag. Here's the complete updated code:

Conclusion

By following these simple steps and properly utilizing React's useState hook, you can easily display a button's text in an <h2> tag after it's been clicked. This not only enhances your component's interactivity but also makes your application more dynamic and user-friendly.

Now you are equipped with the knowledge to tackle similar scenarios in your projects. Happy coding!
