Description

You can design a more complex stateful component by combining the concepts covered so far. These include initializing state, writing methods that set state, and assigning click handlers to trigger these methods.

Instructions

The Counter component keeps track of a count value in state. There are two buttons which call methods increment() and decrement(). Write these methods so the counter value is incremented or decremented by 1 when the appropriate button is clicked. Also, create a reset() method so when the reset button is clicked, the count is set to 0. Note: Make sure you don't modify the classNames of the buttons. Also, remember to add the necessary bindings for the newly-created methods in the constructor.

Tests

tests:
  - text: <code>Counter</code> should return a <code>div</code> element which contains three buttons with text content in this order <code>Increment!</code>, <code>Decrement!</code>, <code>Reset</code>.
    testString: assert((() => { const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(Counter)); return (mockedComponent.find('.inc').text() === 'Increment!' && mockedComponent.find('.dec').text() === 'Decrement!' && mockedComponent.find('.reset').text() === 'Reset'); })(), '<code>Counter</code> should return a <code>div</code> element which contains three buttons with text content in this order <code>Increment!</code>, <code>Decrement!</code>, <code>Reset</code>.');
  - text: The state of <code>Counter</code> should initialize with a <code>count</code> property set to <code>0</code>.
    testString: assert.strictEqual(Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(Counter)).state('count'), 0, 'The state of <code>Counter</code> should initialize with a <code>count</code> property set to <code>0</code>.');
  - text: Clicking the increment button should increment the count by <code>1</code>.
    testString: 'async () => { const waitForIt = (fn) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(() => resolve(fn()), 250)); const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(Counter)); const first = () => { mockedComponent.setState({ count: 0 }); return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent.state(''count'')); }; const second = () => { mockedComponent.find(''.inc'').simulate(''click''); return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent.state(''count'')); }; const firstValue = await first(); const secondValue = await second(); assert(firstValue === 0 && secondValue === 1, ''Clicking the increment button should increment the count by <code>1</code>.''); }; '
  - text: Clicking the decrement button should decrement the count by <code>1</code>.
    testString: 'async () => { const waitForIt = (fn) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(() => resolve(fn()), 250)); const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(Counter)); const first = () => { mockedComponent.setState({ count: 0 }); return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent.state(''count'')); }; const second = () => { mockedComponent.find(''.dec'').simulate(''click''); return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent.state(''count'')); }; const firstValue = await first(); const secondValue = await second(); assert(firstValue === 0 && secondValue === -1, ''Clicking the decrement button should decrement the count by <code>1</code>.''); }; '
  - text: Clicking the reset button should reset the count to <code>0</code>.
    testString: 'async () => { const waitForIt = (fn) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(() => resolve(fn()), 250)); const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(Counter)); const init = () => { mockedComponent.setState({ count: 0 }); return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent.state(''count'')); }; const increment = () => { mockedComponent.find(''.inc'').simulate(''click''); mockedComponent.find(''.inc'').simulate(''click''); return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent.state(''count'')); }; const decrement = () => { mockedComponent.find(''.dec'').simulate(''click''); return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent.state(''count'')); }; const reset = () => { mockedComponent.find(''.reset'').simulate(''click''); return waitForIt(() => mockedComponent.state(''count'')); }; const firstValue = await init(); const secondValue = await increment(); const thirdValue = await decrement(); const fourthValue = await reset(); assert(firstValue === 0 && secondValue === 2 && thirdValue === 1 && fourthValue === 0, ''Clicking the reset button should reset the count to <code>0</code>.''); }; '

Challenge Seed

class Counter extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      count: 0
    };
    // change code below this line

    // change code above this line
  }
  // change code below this line

  // change code above this line
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <button className='inc' onClick={this.increment}>Increment!</button>
        <button className='dec' onClick={this.decrement}>Decrement!</button>
        <button className='reset' onClick={this.reset}>Reset</button>
        <h1>Current Count: {this.state.count}</h1>
      </div>
    );
  }
};

After Test

ReactDOM.render(<Counter />, document.getElementById('root'))

Solution

class Counter extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      count: 0
    };
  this.increment = this.increment.bind(this);
 this.decrement = this.decrement.bind(this);
 this.reset = this.reset.bind(this);
 }
  reset() {
    this.setState({
      count: 0
    });
  }
  increment() {
    this.setState({
      count: this.state.count + 1
    });
  }
  decrement() {
    this.setState({
      count: this.state.count - 1
    });
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <button className='inc' onClick={this.increment}>Increment!</button>
        <button className='dec' onClick={this.decrement}>Decrement!</button>
        <button className='reset' onClick={this.reset}>Reset</button>
        <h1>Current Count: {this.state.count}</h1>
      </div>
    );
  }
};
