class MyApp extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      inputValue: ''
    }
  this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
  }
  handleChange(event) {
    this.setState({
      inputValue: event.target.value
    });
  }
  render() {
    return (
       <div>
         <GetInput
           input={this.state.inputValue}
           handleChange={this.handleChange}/>
         <RenderInput
           input={this.state.inputValue}/>
