Conditionally render download button in react

Question

I have a download button from which the user can download the assets. but I want only authenticated users can download. If the user is not authenticated and click on the download button I want to show them a modal with a login button on it. I have a modal component. I am using React . Please help me.

Getting currently authenticated user from the firebase.

const {currentUser} = useAuth();

This is my code for the download button.

  <a className="bg-secondary text-white font-bold py-3 
     px-5 rounded text-2xl focus:outline-none mt-3 block w-48" href="YOUR_URL">
  <i className="animate-bounce fas fa-arrow-down mr-2"></i>
    Download
</a>

Modal Code:

import React from "react";
import { useState } from "react";

export default function Modal() {
  const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(true);
  console.log('modal');
  return (
    <>
      {showModal ? (
        <>
          <div
            className="justify-center items-center flex overflow-x-hidden overflow-y-auto fixed inset-0 z-50 outline-none focus:outline-none"
            onClick={() => setShowModal(false)}
          >
            <div className="relative w-auto my-6 mx-auto max-w-3xl">

                    I always felt like I could do anything. That’s the main
                    thing people are controlled by! Thoughts- their perception
                    of themselves! They're slowed down by their perception of
                    themselves. If you're taught you can’t do anything, you
                    won’t do anything. I was taught I could do everything.

You could use button instead of a and use onClick to check if currentUser exists when you click button.

This is final code:

function x {

const {currentUser} = useAuth();

const downloadAssets = () => {
   if(currentUser){
      window.open("url assets here", '_blank', 'noopener,noreferrer')
   }else{
     // Open modal here
     alert("User not authenticated"); 
   }
}
return {
<>
  ...
  <button onClick={downloadAssets}><i className="animate-bounce fas fa-arrow-down mr-2"></I>Download</button>
  ...
</>
}
