Manage State Locally First - Help

Tell us what’s happening:

I have no idea why this code isn’t running

Your code so far


class DisplayMessages extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      input: "",
      messages: []
    }
    this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
    this.submitMessage = this.submitMessage.bind(this);
  }
  // add handleChange() and submitMessage() methods here
  handleChange(e){
    this.setState({
      input = e.target.value
    });
  }

  submitMessage(){
    let newMessages = [...this.state.messages, this.state.input]
    this.setState({
      messages : newMessages,
      input: ""
    })
  }

  render() {
    const message = this.state.messages.map(msg  =>      
       <li>{msg}</li>
     )
    return (
      <div>
        <h2>Type in a new Message:</h2>
        { /* render an input, button, and ul here */ }
        <input value={this.state.input} onChange = {this.handleChange} />
        <button onClick={this.submitMessage}>Add message</button>
        <ul>
          {message}
        </ul>
        { /* change code above this line */ }
      </div>
    );
  }
};

Link to the challenge:

handleChange(e){
    this.setState({
      input = e.target.value
    });
}

You’re using = in an object

Thanks, I had mistakenly put = there.
