Stateful Components
Internal State
Component Lifecycle Hooks
import React, { Component } from 'react';
class Profile extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { isLiked: false };
}
componentDidMount() {
console.log('Stateful component successfully mounted.');
}
_toggleLikeState = () => {
this.setState({
isLiked: this.state.isLiked
});
}
render() {
const { name } = this.props;
const { isLiked } = this.state;
return (
<div>
<h3>{ name }</h3>
<span>{ isLiked ? 👍 : 👎 }</span>
<button onClick={ this._toggleLikeState }>
Toggle Like
</button>
</div>
);
}
}
HelloMessage.propTypes = { name: React.PropTypes.string };
HelloMessage.defaultProps = { name: 'World' };
ReactDOM.render(<Profile name="Alice" />, mountNode);
Useful when...
We need to have an internal state
We need to perform an action when the component is mounted
