How to use arrow functions (public class fields) as class methods?

by

Your syntax is slightly off, just missing an equals sign after the property name.

class SomeClass extends React.Component {
  handleInputChange = (val) => {
    console.log('selectionMade: ', val);
  }
}

This is an experimental feature. You will need to enable experimental features in Babel to get this to compile. Here is a demo with experimental enabled.

To use experimental features in babel you can install the relevant plugin from here. For this specific feature, you need the transform-class-properties plugin:

{
  "plugins": [
    "transform-class-properties"
  ]
}

You can read more about the proposal for Class Fields and Static Properties here
