How to set state for each element of array

I have an array with arrays in there, and I want to display only the first 4 elements from each nested array on the first render. Then I have a showMore button which should show new 4 items from the array when clicked, but my solution affects all other elements instead of only the clicked one. Is there a way to set the slice parameters dynamically for each of those arrays? Here is the code sample of what I have tried

import { useState } from "react";
import "./styles.css";

function App() {
  const [start, setStart] = useState(0);
  const [end, setEnd] = useState(4);
  const arr = [
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
  ];

  const mappedArr = arr.map((e) => {
    return e.slice(start, end);
  });

  const showMore = () => {
    setStart(start + end);
    setEnd(end + 4);
  };

  return (
    <div className="App">
      {mappedArr.map((e) => {
        return (
          <div>
            <span>{e}</span>
            <span onClick={showMore}>{">"}</span>
          </div>
        );
      })}
    </div>
  );
}

and the live codesandbox here How can I achieve this? Any example will be appreciated!

Sounds like you need separate start and end for each subarray, rather than having only a single one of each for the whole component.

To make the data easier to manage, consider transforming each subarray into an object containing start and end as well as the subarray.

const initialArr = [
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
];
function App() {
    const [arr, setArr] = React.useState(() => initialArr.map(
        subarr => ({ start: 0, end: 4, subarr })
    ));
    const showMore = (i) => () => {
        setArr(arr.map((e, j) => j !== i ? e : ({
            ...e,
            start: e.start + 4,
            end: e.end + 4,
        })));
    };
    return (
        <div className="App">
            {arr.map((e, i) => {
                return (
                    <div>
                        <span>{e.subarr.slice(e.start, e.end)}</span>
                        <span onClick={showMore(i)}>{">"}</span>
                    </div>
                );
            })}
        </div>
    );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.querySelector('.react'));
