By FrontendAtlas Editorial · Updated Jan 30, 2026

Challenge summary

What you'll practice

  • Render a Like button and a like counter.
  • The counter must never go below 0.
  • Update button styling based on liked state.
  • If the counter is 0, unliking should not make it negative.
  • React focus: keep liked/count in state and guard against negative values.
