when to use a function component and class component in react code example

Example 1: function inside a class component 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" />;
    }
}

Example 2: class to functional component react

// convert a class component to a functional component
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
	state: { 
      name: 'Bob' 
    }
	render() {
      return (
        <p>Hello, my name is {this.state.name}</p>
      );
    }
}

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [name, setName] = React.useState('Bob');
  return (<p>Hello, my name is {name}</p>);
}
