## 4: Update and Remove

Up until now, you have only inserted documents into our collection. Let's take a look at how you can update and remove them by interacting with the user interface.

### 4.1: Add Checkbox

First, you need to add a `checkbox` element to your `Task` component.

> Be sure to add the `readOnly` attribute since we are not using `onChange` to update the state.
>
> We also have to force our `checked` prop to a `boolean` since React understands that an `undefined` value as inexistent, therefore causing the component to switch from uncontrolled to a controlled one.
>
> You are also invited to experiment and see how the app behaves for learning purposes.

You also want to receive a callback, a function that will be called when the checkbox is clicked.

::: code-group

```js [imports/ui/Task.jsx]
import React from "react";

export const Task = ({ task, onCheckboxClick }) => {
  return (
    <li>
      <input
        type="checkbox"
        checked={!!task.isChecked}
        onClick={() => onCheckboxClick(task)}
        readOnly
      />
      <span>{task.text}</span>
    </li>
  );
};
```

:::

### 4.2: Toggle Checkbox

Now you can update your task document by toggling its `isChecked` field.

First, create a new method called `tasks.toggleChecked` to update the `isChecked` property.

::: code-group

```javascript [imports/api/tasksMethods.js]
import { Meteor } from "meteor/meteor";
import { TasksCollection } from "./TasksCollection";

Meteor.methods({
  ..
  "tasks.toggleChecked"({ _id, isChecked }) {
    return TasksCollection.updateAsync(_id, {
      $set: { isChecked: !isChecked },
    });
  },
});
```

:::

Now, create a function to change your document and pass it along to your `Task` component.

::: code-group

```js [imports/ui/App.jsx]
..

export const App = () => {
  const handleToggleChecked = ({ _id, isChecked }) =>
    Meteor.callAsync("tasks.toggleChecked", { _id, isChecked });
  ..
  <ul>
    { tasks.map(task => <Task key={ task._id } task={ task } onCheckboxClick={handleToggleChecked} />) }
  </ul>
  ..
```

:::

Your app should look like this:

<img width="200px" src="/tutorials/react/assets/step04-checkbox.png"/>

### 4.3: Remove tasks

You can remove tasks with just a few lines of code.

First, add a button after text in your `Task` component and receive a callback function.

::: code-group

```js [imports/ui/Task.jsx]
import React from 'react';

export const Task = ({ task, onCheckboxClick, onDeleteClick }) => {
  return (
..
      <span>{task.text}</span>
      <button onClick={ () => onDeleteClick(task) }>&times;</button>
..
```

:::

Now add the removal logic in the `App`, you need to have a function to delete the task and provide this function in your callback property in the `Task` component.

For that, let's create a new method called `tasks.delete`:

::: code-group

```javascript [imports/api/tasksMethods.js]
import { Meteor } from "meteor/meteor";
import { TasksCollection } from "./TasksCollection";

Meteor.methods({
  ..
  "tasks.delete"({ _id }) {
    return TasksCollection.removeAsync(_id);
  },
});
```

:::

Then, let's call this method inside a `handleDelete` function:

::: code-group

```js [imports/ui/App.jsx]
export const App = () => {
  ..
  const handleDelete = ({ _id }) =>// [!code highlight]
    Meteor.callAsync("tasks.delete", { _id });// [!code highlight]
  ..
  <ul>
    { tasks.map(task => <Task
      key={ task._id }
      task={ task }
      onCheckboxClick={handleToggleChecked}
      onDeleteClick={handleDelete} // [!code highlight]
    />) }
  </ul>
  ..
}
```

:::

Your app should look like this:

<img width="200px" src="/tutorials/react/assets/step04-delete-button.png"/>
