onclick button toggle icon not working in reactjs

May 17, 2022

Here i try to toggle react icons when click the button but it still not working:

Here is my code:

const [anchorEl, setAnchorEl] = useState(null);

  const open = Boolean(anchorEl);
  const handleClick = (event) => {
    setAnchorEl(event.currentTarget);
  };
  const handleClose = () => {
    setAnchorEl(null);
  };

   <button onClick={handleClick} className="top-rated-car-react-button">
            {anchorEl ? (
              <MdFavoriteBorder
                style={{
                  color: "#F76631", 
                }}
              />
            ) : (
              <MdFavorite
                style={{
                  color: "#F76631",
                }}
              />
            )}
   </button>

I try with react icons buttons onClick event but it is not toggling with both icons if MdFavoriteBorder it should change with MdFavorite when click the button same as when MdFavorite active change with MdFavoriteBorder

>Solution :

Looks too complicated. I would create a boolean state which I would toggle then like this:

import { useState } from "react";
import { MdFavorite, MdFavoriteBorder } from "react-icons/md";

export default function App() {
  const [favorite, setFavorite] = useState(false);
  const toggleFavorite = () => setFavorite((prev) => !prev);

  return (
    <button onClick={toggleFavorite} className="top-rated-car-react-button">
      {favorite ? (
        <MdFavoriteBorder style={{ color: "#F76631" }} />
      ) : (
        <MdFavorite style={{ color: "#F76631" }} />
      )}
    </button>
  );
}
