Reset initial state in React + ES6
Using the proposed class fields, you could do something like this:
class ElementBuilder extends Component {
static initialState = {
title: 'Testing',
size: 100,
color: '#4d96ce'
}
constructor(props) {
super(props)
this.state = ElementBuilder.initialState
}
resetBuilder() {
this.setState(ElementBuilder.initialState)
}
}
Since the initial state doesn't seem to depend on anything instance specific, just define the value outside the class:
const initialState = {...};
class ElementBuilder extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = initialState;
}
resetBuilder() {
this.setState(initialState);
}
}
You may use a getter function:
class ElementBuilder extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = this.initialState;
}
get initialState() {
return {
title: 'Testing',
size: 100,
color: '#4d96ce',
};
}
resetBuilder() {
this.setState(this.initialState);
}
}
or just a variable:
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.initialState = {
title: 'Testing',
size: 100,
color: '#4d96ce',
};
this.state = this.initialState;
}
