class component state code example

Example 1: set state

class App extends React.Component {

state = { count: 0 }

handleIncrement = () => {
  this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 })
}

handleDecrement = () => {
  this.setState({ count: this.state.count - 1 })
}
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <div>
          {this.state.count}
        </div>
        <button onClick={this.handleIncrement}>Increment by 1</button>
        <button onClick={this.handleDecrement}>Decrement by 1</button>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

Example 2: how to write statefull class in react

import React, {Component} from 'react'

class Pigeons extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super()
    this.state = {
      pigeons: []
    }
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>Look at all the pigeons spotted today!</p>
        <ul>
          {this.state.pigeons.map(pigeonURL => {
            return <li><img src={pigeonURL} /></li>
          })}
        </ul>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

Example 3: state with react functions

class Example extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      count: 0
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>You clicked {this.state.count} times</p>
        <button onClick={() => this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 })}>
          Click me
        </button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Example 4: set state

setState({ searchTerm: event.target.value })

Example 5: react lifecycle hooks

class ActivityItem extends React.Component {
  render() {
    const { activity } = this.props;

    return (
      <div className='item'>
        <div className={'avatar'}>
          <img
            alt='avatar'
            src={activity.actor.avatar_url} />
        </div>

        <span className={'time'}>
          {moment(activity.created_at).fromNow()}
        </span>
        
        <p>{activity.actor.display_login} {activity.payload.action}</p>
        <div className={'right'}>
          {activity.repo.name}
        </div>
      </div>
    )
  }
}
