I've come cross an issue with the implementation of this solution.
If you have a custom component you want to iterate through and you want to share the state it will not be available as the .map() scope does not recognize the general state() scope. I've come to this solution:
`
class RootComponent extends Component() {
constructor(props) {
....
this.customFunction.bind(this);
this.state = {thisWorks: false}
this.that = this;
}
componentDidMount() {
....
}
render() {
let array = this.thatstate.map(() => {
<CustomComponent that={this.that} customFunction={this.customFunction}/>
});
}
customFunction() {
this.that.setState({thisWorks: true})
}
}
class CustomComponent extend Component {
render() {
return <Button onClick={() => {this.props.customFunction()}}
}
}
In constructor bind without this.that
Every use of any function/method inside the root component should be used with this.that
