React: super(props)

JavaScript
1

“It uses super() to call the constructor of the parent class, in this case React.Component”

Is the constructor of the parent class React.Component, or is the parent class itself React.Component?

React.Component is the class. That class has a constructor to which super is pointing.

So would the parent be Kitty?

Kitten is the class we are using. It extends the class React.Component so React.Component is the parent class. The class React.Component has a constructor. We need to call the constructor of the parent from the child (Kitten). From inside the constructor of Kitten we can access the constructor of React.Component as super.
