--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.

--hints--

Counter should return a div element which contains three buttons with text content in this order Increment!, Decrement!, Reset.

assert(
(() => {
const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(Counter));
return (
mockedComponent.find('.inc').text() === 'Increment!' &&
mockedComponent.find('.dec').text() === 'Decrement!' &&
mockedComponent.find('.reset').text() === 'Reset'
);
})()
);

The state of Counter should initialize with a count property set to 0.

const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(Counter));
assert(mockedComponent.find('h1').text() === 'Current Count: 0');

Clicking the increment button should increment the count by 1.

const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(Counter));
mockedComponent.find('.inc').simulate('click');
assert(mockedComponent.find('h1').text() === 'Current Count: 1');

Clicking the decrement button should decrement the count by 1.

const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(Counter));
mockedComponent.find('.dec').simulate('click');
assert(mockedComponent.find('h1').text() === 'Current Count: -1');

Clicking the reset button should reset the count to 0.

const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(Counter));
mockedComponent.setState({ count: 5 });
const currentCountElement = mockedComponent.find('h1');
assert(currentCountElement.text() === 'Current Count: 5');
mockedComponent.find('.reset').simulate('click');
assert(currentCountElement.text() === 'Current Count: 0');

--seed--

--after-user-code--

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

--seed-contents--

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>
);
}
};

--solutions--

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(state => ({
count: state.count + 1
}));
}
decrement() {
this.setState(state => ({
count: 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>
);
}
};
