I am currently using the react-youtube library within one of my react objects. It contains some data that I would like to display on the screen.

```
import YouTube from 'react-youtube';

class MediaCompnent extends React.Component {
  _onReady(event) {
    event.target.playVideo();
    this.myTitle = event.target.videoTitle;
  }

  render() {
    const opts = {
      height: '450',
      width: '650',
      playerVars: {
        autoplay: 1,
      },
    };

    const activeTitle = this.myTitle;

    return (
      <div className="media-area">
        <div className="video-box">
          <div className="video-title">{activeTitle}</div>
          <YouTube
            videoId={this.props.activeMediaUrl}
            opts={opts}
            onReady={this._onReady}
          />
        </div>
        <div className="media-description-area">
          {this.props.activeDescription}
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default MediaCompnent;

```

Currently I am passing the **event.target** to the **\_onReady** function so that it can be read every time that the video is refreshed or one of the props changes. **event.target** returns an object.

I am attempting to read the title data and pass it into **this.myTitle** I am then trying to store it in a **const** within my **render** function and then setting this title within my HTML.

Currently, the activeTitle will not display to screen, but I am managing to print the desired string to the console. What is necessary to pass the variable correctly in order to display in the HTML?

Thanks
