I am trying to implement a simple age verification modal in a react app that I would like to launch only once; when a user first accesses my app. However, currently the modal pops up every time the page is refreshed or a redirect to a new page is clicked and I cannot stop this from happening even though I have coded the state to be set open once the confirm button is clicked.
The code for my modal component is as follows;
import { Fragment, useRef, useState } from 'react'
import { Dialog, Transition } from '@headlessui/react'
import { ExclamationTriangleIcon } from '@heroicons/react/24/outline'
import Modal from 'react-modal';
export default function Example() {
const [open, setOpen] = useState(true)
return (
<Transition.Root show={open} as={Fragment}>
<Dialog as="div" className="relative z-10" onClose={() => null}>
<Transition.Child
as={Fragment}
enter="ease-out duration-300"
enterFrom="opacity-0"
enterTo="opacity-100"
leave="ease-in duration-200"
leaveFrom="opacity-100"
leaveTo="opacity-0"
>
<div className="fixed inset-0 bg-gray-500 bg-opacity-75 transition-opacity" />
</Transition.Child>
<div className="fixed inset-0 z-10 overflow-y-auto">
<div className="flex min-h-full items-end justify-center p-4 text-center sm:items-center sm:p-0">
<Transition.Child
as={Fragment}
enter="ease-out duration-300"
enterFrom="opacity-0 translate-y-4 sm:translate-y-0 sm:scale-95"
enterTo="opacity-100 translate-y-0 sm:scale-100"
leave="ease-in duration-200"
leaveFrom="opacity-100 translate-y-0 sm:scale-100"
leaveTo="opacity-0 translate-y-4 sm:translate-y-0 sm:scale-95"

<Dialog.Panel className="relative transform overflow-hidden rounded-lg bg-white text-left shadow-xl transition-all sm:my-8 sm:w-full sm:max-w-lg">
<div className="bg-white px-4 pt-5 pb-4 sm:p-6 sm:pb-4">

<ExclamationTriangleIcon className="h-6 w-6 text-red-600" aria-hidden="true" />
</div>
<div className="mt-3 text-center sm:mt-0 sm:ml-4 sm:text-left">
<Dialog.Title as="h3" className="text-xl font-medium leading-6 text-gray-900">

<div className="bg-gray-50 px-4 py-3 sm:flex sm:flex-row-reverse sm:px-6">
<button
type="button"
className="inline-flex w-full justify-center rounded-md border border-transparent bg-purple-600 px-4 py-2 text-base font-medium text-white shadow-sm hover:bg-green-600 focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-red-500 focus:ring-offset-2 sm:ml-3 sm:w-auto sm:text-sm"
onClick={() => setOpen(false)}
>
Confirm
</button>
</div>
</Dialog.Panel>
</Transition.Child>
</div>
</div>
</Dialog>
</Transition.Root>
)
}
Can help me with how I could set the state to be closed on first launch and then to open once 'confirm' is clicked and have it stay that way?
Thank you
