## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
There is another way to access <code>state</code> in a component. In the <code>render()</code> method, before the <code>return</code> statement, you can write JavaScript directly. For example, you could declare functions, access data from <code>state</code> or <code>props</code>, perform computations on this data, and so on. Then, you can assign any data to variables, which you have access to in the <code>return</code> statement.

|
## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
In the <code>MyComponent</code> render method, define a <code>const</code> called <code>name</code> and set it equal to the name value in the component's <code>state</code>. 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 <code>h1</code> tag using the variable <code>name</code>. Remember, you need to use the JSX syntax (curly braces for JavaScript) in the return statement.

## Tests
|
|
<section id='tests'>
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: <code>MyComponent</code> should have a key <code>name</code> with value <code>freeCodeCamp</code> stored in its state.
|
|
testString: assert(Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(MyComponent)).state('name') === 'freeCodeCamp', '<code>MyComponent</code> should have a key <code>name</code> with value <code>freeCodeCamp</code> stored in its state.');
|
|
- text: <code>MyComponent</code> should render an <code>h1</code> header enclosed in a single <code>div</code>.
|
|
testString: assert(/<div><h1>.*<\/h1><\/div>/.test(Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(MyComponent)).html()), '<code>MyComponent</code> should render an <code>h1</code> header enclosed in a single <code>div</code>.');
|
|
- text: The rendered <code>h1</code> tag should include a reference to <code>{name}</code>.
|
|
testString: getUserInput => assert(/<h1>\n*\s*\{\s*name\s*\}\s*\n*<\/h1>/.test(getUserInput('index')), 'The rendered <code>h1</code> tag should include a reference to <code>{name}</code>.');
|
|
- text: The rendered <code>h1</code> header should contain text rendered from the component's state.
|
|
testString: '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>'', ''The rendered <code>h1</code> header should contain text rendered from the component's state.''); };'

<section id='challengeSeed'>
|
|
|
|
<div id='jsx-seed'>
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
|
|
constructor(props) {
|
|
super(props);
|
|
this.state = {
|
|
name: 'freeCodeCamp'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
render() {
|
|
// change code below this line
|
|
|
|
// change code above this line
|
|
return (
|
|
<div>
|
|
{ /* change code below this line */ }
|
|
|
|
{ /* change code above this line */ }
|
|
</div>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
```
|

</div>

<div id='jsx-teardown'>
|

```js
|
|
ReactDOM.render(<MyComponent />, document.getElementById('root'))
|
|
```
