Set State with this.setState

Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      name: 'Initial State'
    };
    this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this.setState());
  }
  handleClick() {
    // change code below this line
  this.setState({
    name:'React Rocks!'
  });
    // change code above this line
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <button onClick={this.handleClick}>Click Me</button>
        <h1>{this.state.name}</h1>
      </div>
    );
  }
};

Hi @murtaza63

You want to bind handleClick to this not this.setState(). Have a look here to see what bind actually does.
