I am getting the following error
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property \'setState\' of undefined
even after binding delta in
You dont have to bind anything, Just use Arrow functions like this:
class Counter extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
count: 1
};
}
//ARROW FUNCTION
delta = () => {
this.setState({
count: this.state.count++
});
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>{this.state.count}</h1>
<button onClick={this.delta}>+</button>
</div>
);
}
}
if your are using ES5 syntax then you need to bind it properly
this.delta = this.delta.bind(this)
and if you are using ES6 and above you can use arrow function, then you don't need to use bind() it
delta = () => {
// do something
}
you have to bind new event with this keyword as i mention below...
class Counter extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
count : 1
};
this.delta = this.delta.bind(this);
}
delta() {
this.setState({
count : this.state.count++
});
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>{this.state.count}</h1>
<button onClick={this.delta}>+</button>
</div>
);
}
}
Adding
onClick={this.delta.bind(this)}
will solve the problem . this error comes when we try to call the function of ES6 class , So we need to bind the method.
this.state = {
name: "",
email: ""
}
this.setState(() => ({
comments: comments //comments not available in state
}))
2.Check the (this) if you doing setState inside any function (i.e handleChange) check whether the function bind to this or the function should be arrow function .
## 3 ways for binding this to the below function##
//3 ways for binding this to the below function
handleNameChange(e) {
this.setState(() => ({ name }))
}
// 1.Bind while callling function
onChange={this.handleNameChange.bind(this)}
//2.make it as arrow function
handleNameChange((e)=> {
this.setState(() => ({ name }))
})
//3.Bind in constuctor
constructor(props) {
super(props)
this.state = {
name: "",
email: ""
}
this.handleNameChange = this.handleNameChange.bind(this)
}
