I am learning Facebook React by doing a small example.
I decided check if my knowledge about the this
binding was ok so I created three React.class
where the mutable states are in the parent and the middle only pass the callbacks to the children to manipulate it.
Basic structure:
- MainFrame (states here)
- FriendBox (only pass the callbacks for change states to Friend)
-Friend
Notice than I could use transferThisProp
but actually I preferred made this manually.
FriendBox render contains this:
var allFriends = this.props.friends.map((function (f) {
return(
<Friend key = {f.id}
name = {f.name}
select = {this.props.select}
/>
)
}).bind(this))
Friend render contains this:
return(
<div className=friend>
{this.props.name}
<a href= onClick={this.props.select(this.props.key)}>
select
</a>
</div>
)
When running my code I get the following message:
MainFrame.sendToFriendH:
Invariant Violation: receiveComponent(...):
Can only update a mounted component. react.js:7276
Uncaught Error: Invariant Violation:
receiveComponent(...): Can only update a mounted component.
The interesting part is that when using the react extension for chrome I can check that the virtual DOM
is well and the bindings are ok. Everything looks fine except than the Child component for the first Friend
element says _lifeCycleState: UNMOUNTED
This made me think than I am doing a mistake where the bottom child is not being rendered and mounted.
All the code fails but I don't know exactly why.
Can anyone can tell me why the element is not automatically mounted and how can I fix it?
