React - guide with Updating State from Nested Array in useState Hook
This might be a silly question, but I'm currently working with a scenario while trying to update a nested array in my React component state using the `useState` hook. I have a state that holds an array of objects, and I want to update a specific property of an object based on its index. However, after attempting the state update, I find that the object is not being updated as expected. Here’s a simplified version of my code: ```javascript import React, { useState } from 'react'; const MyComponent = () => { const [items, setItems] = useState([ { id: 1, name: 'Item 1', active: false }, { id: 2, name: 'Item 2', active: false } ]); const toggleActive = (index) => { const newItems = [...items]; newItems[index].active = !newItems[index].active; setItems(newItems); }; return ( <div> {items.map((item, index) => ( <div key={item.id}> <span>{item.name} - {item.active ? 'Active' : 'Inactive'}</span> <button onClick={() => toggleActive(index)}>Toggle</button> </div> ))} </div> ); }; export default MyComponent; ``` When I click the toggle button, the `active` state of the item is not being updated as expected, even though the button is clicked. I’ve checked the console for errors, but there’s nothing that indicates a question with the component. I suspect it might be due to the way I'm copying the array or how React's state updates work, but I can’t pinpoint the scenario. I also tried using `setItems(prevItems => {...})` to ensure I'm working with the latest state but encountered similar results. Is there a best practice for handling updates to nested arrays in the state, or am I missing something here? The stack includes Javascript and several other technologies. Am I missing something obvious? This is part of a larger application I'm building.
