React: “this” is undefined inside a component function

Question

class PlayerControls extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)

    this.state = {
      loopActive: false,
      shuffleActive: false,
    }         


        

Answer 1

ES6 React.Component doesn't auto bind methods to itself. You need to bind them yourself in constructor. Like this:

constructor (props){
  super(props);
  
  this.state = {
      loopActive: false,
      shuffleActive: false,
    };
  
  this.onToggleLoop = this.onToggleLoop.bind(this);

}
