Change on to off and vice versa

Question

We provided some simple JavaScript template code. Your goal is to modify the application so that you can properly toggle the button to switch between an ON state and an OFF state. When the button is on and it is clicked, it turns off and the text within it changes from ON to OFF and vice versa. You are free to add classes and styles, but make sure you leave the element IDs as they are.

What I have tried:

I tried the below code:

JQuery

import $ from "jquery";

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#root").click(function(){
    if (rootApp.innerHTML === '<button>ON</button>'){
      rootApp.innerHTML = '<button>OFF</button>';
    } else {
      rootApp.innerHTML = '<button>ON</button>';
    }
  })
})

const rootApp = document.getElementById("root");
rootApp.innerHTML = '<button>ON</button>';

It is working fine, but do we have any other better way to do it?

There's a ton of other ways to do this. Your code adds and removes the button, but you can just leave the button in place and change its attributes to change the button.
