Use Event Handlers#

Toggle Function#

To show or hide the answer, we will add a toggle function to the component FaqItem.jsx.

Exercise#

Write the toggle handler which will toggle the isAnswer state variable and set the new state using the setAnswer function:

Solution
 8  const toggle = () => {
 9    setAnswer(!isAnswer);
10  };

Click Handler#

To call the newly created toggle function, we will add an onClick handler to the question:

12  return (
13    <li className="faq-item">
14      <h2 className="question" onClick={toggle}>
15        {props.question}
16      </h2>
17      {isAnswer && <p>{props.answer}</p>}
18    </li>
19  );
