# --description--
|
|
|
|
There is another way to access `state` in a component. In the `render()` method, before the `return` statement, you can write JavaScript directly. For example, you could declare functions, access data from `state` or `props`, perform computations on this data, and so on. Then, you can assign any data to variables, which you have access to in the `return` statement.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
In the `MyComponent` render method, define a `const` called `name` and set it equal to the name value in the component's `state`. Because you can write JavaScript directly in this part of the code, you don't have to enclose this reference in curly braces.
|
|
|
|
Next, in the return statement, render this value in an `h1` tag using the variable `name`. Remember, you need to use the JSX syntax (curly braces for JavaScript) in the return statement.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`MyComponent` should have a key `name` with value `freeCodeCamp` stored in its state.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(MyComponent)).state('name') ===
|
|
'freeCodeCamp'
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`MyComponent` should render an `h1` header enclosed in a single `div`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
/<div><h1>.*<\/h1><\/div>/.test(
|
|
Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(MyComponent)).html()
|
|
)
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The rendered `h1` tag should include a reference to `{name}`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
(getUserInput) =>
|
|
assert(/<h1>\n*\s*\{\s*name\s*\}\s*\n*<\/h1>/.test(getUserInput('index')));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The rendered `h1` header should contain text rendered from the component's state.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
async () => {
|
|
const waitForIt = (fn) =>
|
|
new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(() => resolve(fn()), 250));
|
|
const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(MyComponent));
|
|
const first = () => {
|
|
mockedComponent.setState({ name: 'TestName' });
|
|
return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent.html());
|
|
};
|
|
const firstValue = await first();
|
|
assert(firstValue === '<div><h1>TestName</h1></div>');
|
|
};
|
|
```
