ReferenceError: Component is not defined in ReactJs

Dung Do Tien May 22 2022 381

Hello Guys, I am a newbie in Reactjs, I have an API that will return a list of articles and I have to call it. I created a class that extends from Component. I wrote as below:

 import * as React from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';

export default class News extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      news: [],
    };
  }

  componentDidMount() {
     axios.get('https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?query=react')
          .then((result) =>
            this.setState({
              news: result.data.hits,
            })
          );
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <ul>
        {this.state.news.map((topic) => (
          <li key={topic.objectID}>{topic.title}</li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    );
  }
}

But when running code I got an exception throw ReferenceError: Component is not defined.

    You're wrong a bit. Please change Component to React.Component.

     //Change from :
    export default class News extends Component {
    
    // To
    export default class News extends React.Component {

    Or you can change the way you import React module as below:

     //Change from :
    import * as React from 'react';
    
    // To
    import React, {Component} from "react";

    I hope this answer is useful for you.
