To update values in a JavaScript array, we can use the findIndex() method for executing and updating the object values accordingly, using for loop method for iterating through an array and updating the specified value. Map() for mapping the updated value to an array in JavaScript.
Update new values in an array,
- First, find the element that we want to find the index in the array of the object or where the object is in the array.
- Then create a copy of the state array.
- Update or add one value.
- Finally setState.
Use the setState() function whenever we want to update the values in the state. Then, the component gets rendered again automatically without our knowledge. We'll want to pass a new array to our state-setting function to update an array every time. To implement that, we can create a new array from the original array in our state by calling its non-mutating methods like filter() & map(). Then we can set our state to the resulting new array. The difference between the setState and replaceState is that the setState will merge the current and previous states. Whereas replaceState will throw out the current state and replaces it with only what we feed.
Here is an example of how you can Update the values inside an Array in JavaScript:

Code
In this solution we're using React library.
Instructions
Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.
- Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
- Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
- cd foldername.
- Install npm i uikit and import this library in index.js as import "uikit/dist/css/uikit.min.css".
- Open the folder in IDE.
- Copy the code using "copy" button above then create a file in the name of UpdateQuantity.js and paste it in that UpdateQuantity.js file(Use only first 55 lines of code).
- Import UpdateQuantity.js file in index,js file(also refer demo given below).
- Create a style file(eg: styles.css) and get the code for style file from 'DEMO' given below and import it in index.js file.
- Open the terminal from IDE.
- npm start to run the file.
Note: In index.js file, inside <React.StrictMode> tag replace '<App>' with '<UpdateQuantity>'.
You can also refer this url 'DEMO' for getting the above output.
I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.
I found this code snippet by searching for 'react interview exercise' in kandi. You can try any such use case!
Environment Tested
I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.
- The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
- The solution is tested on node v18.12.1 and npm v8.19.2.
- React version-18.2.0.
- Uikit version-current.
Using this solution, we are able to update values inside an array in React with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to update values inside an array in React.
