I am new to React and trying to learn more by creating projects. I made an API call to display some images to the page and I would like to create a like button/icon for each image that changes to red when clicked. However, when I click one button all of the icons change to red. I believe this may be related to the way I have set up my state, but can't seem to figure out how to target each item individually. Any insight would be much appreciated.
`
//store api data
const [eventsData, setEventsData] = useState([]);
//state for like button
const [isLiked, setIsLiked] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
axios({
url: "https://app.ticketmaster.com/discovery/v2/events",
params: {
city: userInput,
countryCode: "ca",
},
})
.then((response) => {
setEventsData(response.data._embedded.events);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error)
});
});
//here i've tried to filter and target each item and when i
console.log(event) it does render the clicked item, however all the icons
change to red at the same time
const handleLikeEvent = (id) => {
eventsData.filter((event) => {
if (event.id === id) {
setIsLiked(!isLiked);
}
});
};
return (
{eventsData.map((event) => {
return (
<div key={event.id}>
<img src={event.images[0].url} alt={event.name}></img>
<FontAwesomeIcon
icon={faHeart}
className={isLiked ? "redIcon" : "regularIcon"}
onClick={() => handleLikeEvent(event.id)}
/>
</div>
)
`
Store likes as array of ids
const [eventsData, setEventsData] = useState([]);
const [likes, setLikes] = useState([]);
const handleLikeEvent = (id) => {
setLikes(likes.concat(id));
};
return (
<>
{eventsData.map((event) => {
return (
<div key={event.id}>
<img src={event.images[0].url} alt={event.name}></img>
<FontAwesomeIcon
icon={faHeart}
className={likes.includes(event.id) ? "redIcon" : "regularIcon"}
onClick={() => handleLikeEvent(event.id)}
/>
</div>
);
})}
</>
);
Your issue is with your state, isLiked is just a boolean true or false, it has no way to tell the difference between button 1, or button 2 and so on, so you need a way to change the css property for an individual button, you can find one such implementation by looking Siva's answer, where you store their ids in an array
