The constructor does not pass its props to the super class. It should include the following line: | |
constructor(props) { | |
super(props); | |
// ... | |
} | |
The event listener (when assigned via addEventListener()) is not properly scoped because ES2015 doesn’t provide autobinding. Therefore the developer can re-assign clickHandler in the constructor to include the correct binding to this: | |
constructor(props) { | |
super(props); | |
this.clickHandler = this.clickHandler.bind(this); | |
// ... | |
} |
