components in react are like functions code example

Example 1: create react component class

class MyComponent extends React.Component{
    constructor(props){
        super(props);
    };
    render(){
        return(
            <div>
              <h1>
              	My First React Component!
              </h1>
            </div>
        );
    }
};

Example 2: defining functions in react

export default class Archive extends React.Component { 

    saySomething(something) {
        console.log(something);
    }

    handleClick(e) {
        this.saySomething("element clicked");
    }

    componentDidMount() {
        this.saySomething("component did mount");
    }

    render() {
        return <button onClick={this.handleClick.bind(this)} value="Click me" />;
    }
}
