ReactJS How to add a show more/show less button

Viewed 36110

I'm new to React and I want to add a simple "Show more" button to my Application. I have an array with data, where I want to show 3 entries as a default. When a user clicks on show more, the rest of the data should be rendered, and the Button should change the text to show less. I'm not exactly sure how to do it.

This is what I got so far:

class Application extends React.Component {
  constructor() {
    super()

    this.cars = [
     { "name" : "Audi", "country" : "Germany"},
     { "name" : "BMW", "country" : "Germany" },
     { "name" : "Chevrolet", "country" : "USA" },
     { "name" : "Citroen", "country" : "France" },
     { "name" : "Hyundai", "country" : "South Korea" },
     { "name" : "Mercedes-Benz", "country" : "Germany" },
     { "name" : "Renault", "country" : "France" },
     { "name" : "Seat", "country" : "Spain" },
   ]

   this.isLoaded = false

  }

  showMore() {
   // show more entries
   // switch to "show less"
  }

  render() {
    return <div className="container">
     <h3>Click show more to see more data</h3>
     <div className="row">
       <h3>List of Cars</h3>
       <ul>
         {this.cars.slice(0,3).map((car, i) => <li key={i}>{car.name} - {car.country}</li>)}
       </ul>
     </div>
     <p>
      <a className="btn btn-primary" onClick={this.showMore()}>Show more</a>.
     </p>
   </div>;
  }
}

React.render(<Application />, document.getElementById('app'));

Here is a JSBin with the code in action

Can someone help me out?
