one of the purpose of bind
in React ES6 classes is that you have to bind manually.
No Autobinding
Methods follow the same semantics as regular ES6 classes, meaning that >they don’t automatically bind this to the instance. You’ll have to >explicitly use .bind(this) or arrow functions =>:
We recommend that you bind your event handlers in the constructor so they >are only bound once for every instance:
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {count: props.initialCount};
this.tick = this.tick.bind(this); // manually binding in constructor
}
