Tell us what’s happening:
Can someone please tell me why I’m not passing this challenge? It works perfectly. The error I’m getting is:
“Clicking the Add message button should call the method submitMessage which should add the current input to the messages array in state.”
But when I click the Add messages button the input renders correctly.
Thanks!
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(event) {
this.setState({
input: event.target.value
})
}
submitMessage() {
this.state.messages.push(this.state.input);
this.setState({
input: ''
})
console.log(this.state.messages)
}
render() {
const elems = this.state.messages.map(function(a) {
return <li>{a}</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>{elems}</ul>
{ /* change code above this line */ }
</div>
);
}
};
