The objective of a FAQ is generally to provide information on frequent questions or concerns. But the format is useful for organizing information, and the text contains questions. Their answers will be called a FAQ regardless of whether the questions are asked. In this kit, we will see how to Show Answers from the list when clicking on questions using Reactjs with simple steps. In ReactJS, changing items in the list if an item of the list is clicked. It can be done by triggering the event onClick() on the currently clicked item. For reflecting the change, we also have to maintain the state in react so that after the change. Then, the changes get reflected when the page is rendered again.


Please check the code below.

                className="list-group-item"
                key={i}
                data-id={item.title}
                onClick={()=>this.setState({correctAnswer:item.body,selectedQuestion:item.title})}
              >
                {item.title}
              </li>

          </ul>
        </div>
      </div>
    );

ReactDOM.render(<Contact />, document.getElementById("root"));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/16.6.3/umd/react.production.min.js"></script>
