How to update state with usestate in an array of objects?

by

You can safely use javascript’s array map functionality since that will not modify existing state, which react does not like, and it returns a new array. The process is to loop over the state’s array and find the correct id. Update the done boolean. Then set state with the updated list.

const toggleDone = (id) => {
  console.log(id);

  // loop over the todos list and find the provided id.
  let updatedList = state.todos.map(item => 
    {
      if (item.id == id){
        return {...item, done: !item.done}; //gets everything that was already in item, and updates "done"
      }
      return item; // else return unmodified item 
    });

  setState({todos: updatedList}); // set state to new object with updated list
}

Edit: updated the code to toggle item.done instead of setting it to true.
