ReactJS – Trying to set state using time delay

[matthisco]

Hello,

By clicking ‘show jackpot’, I want the value to be shown in place of the button for five seconds, then revert back to the original state.

I cannot get the button to revert back to its original state, can anyone help?

Using I’m trying to use setTimout to reset my state, here is my fiddle:

Hi,

try this:

    delayState: function() {
        setTimeout(() => {
            this.setState({
            clicked: false
          })
        }, 2000);
    },

I am using an arrow function here, so setTimeout won’t carry its this inside the body.
