If you are using babel, you bind 'this' using ES7 bind operator https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-plugin-transform-function-bind#auto-self-binding

export default class SignupPage extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }

  handleSubmit(e) {
    e.preventDefault(); 

    const data = { 
      email: this.refs.email.value,
    } 
  }

  render() {

    const {errors} = this.props;

    return (
      

        

          

            

              
            
            

              
            
            Sign up
          
        
      
    )
  }
