Bind 'this' to a Class Method

Описание: What is handleClick in React? In the first example, the handleClick function is passed as an onClick event handler. This tells React to remember it and only call your function when the user clicks the button. In the second example, the () at the end of handleClick() fires the function immediately during rendering, without any clicks.

The handleClick() method is commonly used in JavaScript, particularly in UI frameworks and libraries like React, to handle user interactions, specifically click events on elements. It is a function that gets executed when an element, such as a button, is clicked.
The basic structure of a handleClick() method usually involves defining the function and then attaching it to the onClick event of an element.

In React class components, it's important to bind the handleClick method to the component instance to ensure this refers to the component. This can be done in the constructor or by using arrow functions.

handleClick can also accept arguments, allowing you to pass data or context from the element that triggered the event.

What is a Class Method in React?
In React, a class method is a function defined within a class component. It's used to handle logic, events, and state updates within the component. Class methods are essential for managing the behavior of class-based components, which were the primary way to create stateful components in React before the introduction of hooks.

In the example above, handleClick is a class method. It updates the component's state when the button is clicked. The constructor method is used to initialize the state and bind the handleClick method to the class instance, ensuring that this refers to the component within the method.
