Well, I’m convinced this is the right code, but it produces an error which I do not understand. The code should bind the ‘this’ keyword to the .addItem() method, making it available for use in the component. But I have no idea what this error means.
Your code so far
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
itemCount: 0
};
// change code below this line
this.addItem = this.addItem.bind(this);
// change code above this line
}
addItem() {
this.setState({
itemCount: this.state.itemCount + 1
});
}
render() {
return (
<div>
{ /* change code below this line */ }
<button onClick = {this.addItem()}>Click Me</button>
{ /* change code above this line */ }
<h1>Current Item Count: {this.state.itemCount}</h1>
</div>
);
}
};
