How to change Text component value dynamically with React Native?

To change Text component value dynamically with React Native, we can use a state.

For instance, we write:

import * as React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

export default function App() {
  const [myText, setMyText] = React.useState('Original Text');
  return (
    <View>
      <Text onPress={() => setMyText('Changed Text')}>{myText}</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

to define the myText state with useState with initial value set to 'Original Text'.

Then we call setMyText to change the text value when we press the Text component.

As a result, when we press on Text, the text inside changes to 'Changed Text'.
