changing state in react code example

Example 1: set state

class App extends React.Component {

state = { count: 0 }

handleIncrement = () => {
  this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 })
}

handleDecrement = () => {
  this.setState({ count: this.state.count - 1 })
}
  render() {
    return (
      

        

          {this.state.count}
        
        Increment by 1
        Decrement by 1
      
    )
  }
}

Example 2: state with react functions

class Example extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      count: 0
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      

        
You clicked {this.state.count} times
         this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 })}>
          Click me
        
      
    );
  }
}

Example 3: update state in react

You have to use setState() for updating state in React
{
  hasBeenClicked: false,
  currentTheme: 'blue',
}

setState({
	hasBeenClicked: true
});

Example 4: change state in react

import React, {Component} from 'react';

class ButtonCounter extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super()
    // initial state has count set at 0
    this.state = {
      count: 0
    }
  }

  handleClick = () => {
    // when handleClick is called, newCount is set to whatever this.state.count is plus 1 PRIOR to calling this.setState
    let newCount = this.state.count + 1
    this.setState({
      count: newCount
    })
  }

  render() {
    return (
      

        
{this.state.count}
        Click Me
      
    )
  }
}

export default ButtonCounter

Example 5: set state

setState({ searchTerm: event.target.value })

Example 6: react change state
