title: Render with an If-Else Condition
challengeType: 6

## Description
<section id='description'>
Another application of using JavaScript to control your rendered view is to tie the elements that are rendered to a condition. When the condition is true, one view renders. When it's false, it's a different view. You can do this with a standard <code>if/else</code> statement in the <code>render()</code> method of a React component.
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
MyComponent contains a <code>boolean</code> in its state which tracks whether you want to display some element in the UI or not. The <code>button</code> toggles the state of this value. Currently, it renders the same UI every time. Rewrite the <code>render()</code> method with an <code>if/else</code> statement so that if <code>display</code> is <code>true</code>, you return the current markup. Otherwise, return the markup without the <code>h1</code> element.
<strong>Note:</strong>&nbsp;You must write an <code>if/else</code> to pass the tests. Use of the ternary operator will not pass here.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>MyComponent</code> should exist and render.
testString: assert((function() { const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(MyComponent)); return mockedComponent.find('MyComponent').length === 1; })());
- text: When <code>display</code> is set to <code>true</code>, a <code>div</code>, <code>button</code>, and <code>h1</code> should render.
testString: 'async () => { const waitForIt = (fn) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(() => resolve(fn()), 250)); const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(MyComponent)); const state_1 = () => { mockedComponent.setState({display: true}); return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent )}; const updated = await state_1(); assert(mockedComponent.find(''div'').length === 1 && mockedComponent.find(''div'').children().length === 2 && mockedComponent.find(''button'').length === 1 && mockedComponent.find(''h1'').length === 1); }; '
- text: When <code>display</code> is set to <code>false</code>, only a <code>div</code> and <code>button</code> should render.
testString: 'async () => { const waitForIt = (fn) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(() => resolve(fn()), 250)); const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(MyComponent)); const state_1 = () => { mockedComponent.setState({display: false}); return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent )}; const updated = await state_1(); assert(mockedComponent.find(''div'').length === 1 && mockedComponent.find(''div'').children().length === 1 && mockedComponent.find(''button'').length === 1 && mockedComponent.find(''h1'').length === 0); }; '
- text: The render method should use an <code>if/else</code> statement to check the condition of <code>this.state.display</code>.
testString: getUserInput => assert(getUserInput('index').includes('if') && getUserInput('index').includes('else'));

## Challenge Seed
<section id='challengeSeed'>
<div id='jsx-seed'>
```jsx
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
display: true
}
this.toggleDisplay = this.toggleDisplay.bind(this);
}
toggleDisplay() {
this.setState({
display: !this.state.display
});
}
render() {
// change code below this line
return (
<div>
<button onClick={this.toggleDisplay}>Toggle Display</button>
<h1>Displayed!</h1>
</div>
);
}
};
```
</div>
### After Test
<div id='jsx-teardown'>
```js
ReactDOM.render(<MyComponent />, document.getElementById('root'))
```
</div>
</section>
## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
display: true
}
this.toggleDisplay = this.toggleDisplay.bind(this);
}
toggleDisplay() {
this.setState({
display: !this.state.display
});
}
render() {
// change code below this line
if (this.state.display) {
return (
<div>
<button onClick={this.toggleDisplay}>Toggle Display</button>
<h1>Displayed!</h1>
</div>
);
} else {
return (
<div>
<button onClick={this.toggleDisplay}>Toggle Display</button>
</div>
);
}
}
};
