### PasswordRevealer
Renders a password input field with a reveal button.
#### Class version
Initially set `state.shown` to `false` to ensure that the password is not shown by default.
Create a method, `toggleShown`, which uses `Component.prototype.setState` to change the input's state from shown to hidden and vice versa, bind it to the component's context.
In the`render()` method, use a`<div>` to wrap both the`<input>` and the `<button>` element that toggles the type of the input field.
Finally, bind the `<button>`'s `onClick` event to the `toggleShown` method.
```jsx
class PasswordRevealer extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
shown: false
};
this.toggleShown = this.toggleShown.bind(this);
}
toggleShown() {
this.setState(state => ({ shown: !state.shown }));
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<input
type={this.state.shown ? 'text' : 'password'}
value={this.props.value}
/>
<button onClick={this.toggleShown}>Show/Hide</button>
</div>
);
}
}
```
```jsx
ReactDOM.render(
<PasswordRevealer />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
```
#### Function version
Initialize a state variable `shown` to denote whether or not the password is revealed. Set its initial value to `false`.
In the `render()` method, return a `<div>` element wrapping the `<input>` element which holds the password and the `<button>` element which reveals or hides it. Bind the button's `onClick` event to the `setShown` function that switches the state variable `shown`'s value from `true` to `false` and vice versa.
```jsx
function PasswordRevealer() {
const [shown, setShown] = useState(false);
return (
<div>
<input type={shown ? 'text' : 'password'} />
<button onClick={() => setShown(!shown)}>
{shown ? 'Hide' : 'Show'}
</button>
</div>
)
}
```
```jsx
ReactDOM.render(
<PasswordRevealer />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
```
