On Hover Effect Using React State

In this approach, we will use the React state to create a hover effect. When users hover over text, a state variable toggles, altering the inline style of the text. This manipulation triggers the “line-through” property, creating a strikethrough effect, effectively highlighting the interactive nature of the UI element.

Example: The provided React example showcases a component that creates a striking visual effect in the UI. When hovering over a paragraph, it toggles a strikethrough effect. This functionality leverages React’s state and event handling capabilities to monitor changes in the host state. Furthermore, the paragraph is styled with center alignment and a cursor pointer, ensuring an intuitive user experience.

App.js

Javascript




import React, { useState } from 'react';
 
function App() {
 
    // State to track whether the paragraph is hovered
    const [isHovered, setIsHovered] = useState(false);
 
    // Event handler for hovering over the paragraph
    const handleHover = () => {
        setIsHovered(!isHovered);
    };
 
    const paragraphStyle = {
        display: 'flex',
        justifyContent: 'center',
        alignItems: 'center',
        fontSize: '24px',
        color: '#333',
        cursor: 'pointer',
    };
 
    const heading = {
        marginBottom: '16px',
        textAlign: 'center',
        color: 'green',
    };
 
    // Style for the strikethrough effect
    const strikethroughStyle = {
        textDecoration: 'line-through',
    };
 
    return (
        <div>
            <h1 style={heading}>w3wiki</h1>
 
            <p onMouseEnter={handleHover}
               onMouseLeave={handleHover}
               style={paragraphStyle}>
                {isHovered ? (
                    <span style={strikethroughStyle}>
                        Hover me to strikethrough
                    </span>
                ) : (
                    'Hover me to see the effect'
                )}
            </p>
        </div>
    );
}
 
export default App;
