How to create a password show & hide functionality in ReactJS

Recently, I have been worked on a personal project for my non-profit association that is using ReactJS, so I have been quite exposed to the development process. Oh, I also helped to design a new landing page using ReactJS for my work project, so that is another reason why I am writing a lot of ReactJS blog posts lately.

One functionality that I am working on right now is designing a sign-up page, and I see this as one of the most challenging and important part of the website. One cool feature I recently encountered in few websites is the ability to reveal/hide password with one click.

“We will implement password hide/reveal functionality in ReactJS”

So, I decided to implement this feature for the website in ReactJS. It will look something like this.

Prototype of the sign up functionality

Forget about the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) and other layout aspects around it. Instead, do you see the “eye” icon on the right next to Password field? When you click the icon, you can toggle the values in Passwords & Confirm Passwords from hidden to shown. This blog will explain how you can design this in ReactJS.
