For the line of code: Click Me
I was wondering why we did not have to include the parentheses in {this.handleClick} like this: {this.handleClick()}. I thought the parentheses were necessary in order to call the function with onClick.
Your code so far
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
text: "Hello"
};
// Change code below this line
this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
// Change code above this line
}
handleClick() {
this.setState({
text: "You clicked!"
});
}
render() {
return (
<div>
{ /* Change code below this line */ }
<button onClick={this.handleClick}>Click Me</button>
{ /* Change code above this line */ }
<h1>{this.state.text}</h1>
</div>
);
}
};
