usestate in array code example

Example 1: usestate array push

setTheArray([...theArray, newElement]);

Example 2: how to set value in array react hook usestate

const[array,setArray]= useState([
        {id: 1, value: "a string", othervalue: ""},
        {id: 2, value: "another string", othervalue: ""},
        {id: 3, value: "a string", othervalue: ""},
    ])

const updateItem =(id, whichvalue, newvalue)=> {
  var index = array.findIndex(x=> x.id === id);

  let g = array[index]
  g[whichvalue] = newvalue
  if (index === -1){
    // handle error
    console.log('no match')
  }
  else
    setArray([
      ...array.slice(0,index),
      g,
      ...array.slice(index+1)
    ]
            );
}
//how to use the function    
onPress={()=>updateItem(2,'value','ewfwf')}
onPress={()=>updateItem(1,'othervalue','ewfwf')}
/*
the first input of the function is the id of the item
the second input of the function is the atrribute that you wish to change
the third input of the function is the new value for that attribute
It's a pleasure :0

Example 3: simple usestate example

// First: import useState. It's a named export from 'react'
// Or we could skip this step, and write React.useState
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

// This component expects 2 props:
//   text - the text to display
//   maxLength - how many characters to show before "read more"
function LessText({ text, maxLength }) {
  // Create a piece of state, and initialize it to `true`
  // `hidden` will hold the current value of the state,
  // and `setHidden` will let us change it
  const [hidden, setHidden] = useState(true);

  // If the text is short enough, just render it
  if (text.length <= maxLength) {
    return <span>{text}</span>;
  }

  // Render the text (shortened or full-length) followed by
  // a link to expand/collapse it.
  // When a link is clicked, update the value of `hidden`,
  // which will trigger a re-render
  return (
    <span>
      {hidden ? `${text.substr(0, maxLength).trim()} ...` : text}
      {hidden ? (
        <a onClick={() => setHidden(false)}> read more</a>
      ) : (
        <a onClick={() => setHidden(true)}> read less</a>
      )}
    </span>
  );
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <LessText
    text={`Focused, hard work is the real key
      to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, 
      and just keep taking the next step 
      towards completing it.`}
    maxLength={35}
  />,
  document.querySelector('#root')
);
