Tell us what’s happening:
Hello.
My code succeeds at passing the lesson.
However, after pressing Enter, shouldn’t the eventListener be removed?
If I press Enter again, the text " You pressed the enter key!" gets appended.
Your code so far
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
message: ''
};
this.handleEnter = this.handleEnter.bind(this);
this.handleKeyPress = this.handleKeyPress.bind(this);
}
// change code below this line
componentDidMount() {
document.addEventListener("keydown", this.handleKeyPress)
}
componentWillUnmount() {
document.removeEventListener("keydown", this.handleKeyPress, true)
}
// change code above this line
handleEnter() {
this.setState({
message: this.state.message + 'You pressed the enter key! '
});
}
handleKeyPress(event) {
if (event.keyCode === 13) {
this.handleEnter();
}
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>{this.state.message}</h1>
</div>
);
}
};
