How can I render some JSX with onClick event?

Question

So I'm trying to render some JSX when a user presses a button, I'm trying to do this via onClick but it is not working, The JSX does not get rendered on the screen. Is there a way to do this? My code is like this:

function RandomScreen() {
    async function HandleClick() {
        // make API post request
        .then(function(response) {
            return (<h1>{response.data}</h1>)
        })
    }
    return (
        <button onClick={HandleClick}>Click me</button>
    )
}

Answer 1

I think you are looking for something like this:

function RandomScreen() {
  const [data, setData] = useState(null);
  async function HandleClick() {
    fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1")
      .then((response) => response.json())
      .then((json) => {
        console.log(json);

        setData(json);
      });
  }
  return (
    <button onClick={HandleClick}>
      Click me
      {data && <h1>{JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}</h1>}
    </button>
  );
}

Answer 2

store your data in a state for example

const [data, setData] = React.useState();


...
.then(function(response) {
    setData(response.data);
 })

and in JSX you can handle the display part:

{data && <h1>{data}</h1>}
