How to Call a Function inside a Render in React Jsx

Question

I want to call a function inside some embedded html  I tried the following but the function isn t called  Would this be the incorrect way of calling a function inside a render method    import React    Component  PropTypes   from  react    export default class PatientTable extends Component         constructor props            super props           this state               checking false                  this renderIcon   this renderIcon bind this          renderIcon        console log  came here       return         lt div gt Function called lt  div gt               render         return           lt div className  patient-container  gt           this renderIcon                lt  div gt

The fix was at the accepted answer  Yet if someone wants to know why it  worked and why the implementation in the SO question didn t work   First  functions are first class objects in JavaScript  That means they are treated like any other variable  Function can be passed as an argument to other functions  can be returned by another function and can be assigned as a value to a variable  Read more here   So we use that variable to invoke the function by adding parentheses    at the end   One thing   If you have a function that returns a funtion and you just need to call that returned function  you can just have double paranthesis when you call the outer function
