So im trying to make react work with ES6 syntax. In ES5 I had setInitialState without a constructor which worked with the function binding syntax. I have a list of prices which is arbitrary and I want the state to change when the input element is changed. But the right price has to be changed.

I'm not even quite sure this is the right way to do it. Can someone please tell me the most recent way this should be done?

Here is my code:

import React, {Component} from 'react'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';

export default class PriceTable extends Component {
  constructor(props, context) {
    super(props, context);

    this.state = {
      pid: this.props.pid || "12345",
      name: this.props.name || "name",
      prices: this.props.prices || [
        {count: 1, desc: 'one', price: 8.25},
        {count: 6, desc: 'six', price: 7.60},
        {count: 12, desc: 'twelve', price: 6.953}
      ]
    };

    this.setPid = this.setPid.bind(this);
    this.setName = this.setName.bind(this);
    this.setCount = this.setCount.bind(this, i);
    this.setDesc = this.setDesc.bind(this, i);
    this.setPrice = this.setPrice.bind(this, i);
    this.logDebug = this.logDebug.bind(this);
  }

  setPid(e) {
    this.setState({pid: e.target.value})
  }

  setName(e) {
    this.setState({name: e.target.value})
  }

  setCount(i, e) {
    var newPrices = this.state.prices
    newPrices[i].count = e.target.value
    this.setState({prices: newPrices})
  }

  setDesc(i, e) {
    var newPrices = this.state.prices
    newPrices[i].sec = e.target.value
    this.setState({prices: newPrices})
  }

  setPrice(i, e) {
    var newPrices = this.state.prices
    newPrices[i].price = e.target.value
    this.setState({prices: newPrices})
  }

  _renderPriceRow(price, i) {
    return (
      <tr key={i}>
        <td >
          <input type="text" className="form-control" defaultValue={price.count} onChange={this.setCount(this, i).bind(this, i)}/>
        </td>
        <td >
          <input type="text" className="form-control" defaultValue={price.desc} onChange={this.setDesc(this, i).bind(this, i)}/>
        </td>
        <td >
          <input type="text" className="form-control" defaultValue={price.price} onChange={this.setPrice(this, i).bind(this, i)}/>
        </td>
      </tr>
    );
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="row">
       ...
      </div>
    );
  }
}

And this is the error...

PriceTable.jsx:21 Uncaught ReferenceError: i is not defined
    at new PriceTable (PriceTable.jsx:21)

You are binding the functions incorrectly

In your constructor you need not specify the argument, you only need to bind it like this.setDesc = this.setDesc.bind(this);

Also In your onChange, when you want to pass paramters to the function you specify it with bind and not pass as arguments and bind them again .

onChange={this.setDesc.bind(this, i)}

You entire code will look like

import React, {Component} from 'react'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';

export default class PriceTable extends Component {
  constructor(props, context) {
    super(props, context);

    this.state = {
      pid: this.props.pid || "12345",
      name: this.props.name || "name",
      prices: this.props.prices || [
        {count: 1, desc: 'one', price: 8.25},
        {count: 6, desc: 'six', price: 7.60},
        {count: 12, desc: 'twelve', price: 6.953}
      ]
    };

    this.setPid = this.setPid.bind(this);
    this.setName = this.setName.bind(this);
    this.setCount = this.setCount.bind(this);
    this.setDesc = this.setDesc.bind(this);
    this.setPrice = this.setPrice.bind(this);
    this.logDebug = this.logDebug.bind(this);
    this._renderPriceRow = this._renderPriceRow.bind(this);
  }

  setPid(e) {
    this.setState({pid: e.target.value})
  }

  setName(e) {
    this.setState({name: e.target.value})
  }

  setCount(i, e) {
    var newPrices = this.state.prices
    newPrices[i].count = e.target.value
    this.setState({prices: newPrices})
  }

  setDesc(i, e) {
    var newPrices = this.state.prices
    newPrices[i].sec = e.target.value
    this.setState({prices: newPrices})
  }

  setPrice(i, e) {
    var newPrices = this.state.prices
    newPrices[i].price = e.target.value
    this.setState({prices: newPrices})
  }

  _renderPriceRow(price, i) {
    return (
      <tr key={i}>
        <td >
          <input type="text" className="form-control" defaultValue={price.count} onChange={this.setCount.bind(this, i)}/>
        </td>
        <td >
          <input type="text" className="form-control" defaultValue={price.desc} onChange={this.setDesc.bind(this, i)}/>
        </td>
        <td >
          <input type="text" className="form-control" defaultValue={price.price} onChange={this.setPrice.bind(this, i)}/>
        </td>
      </tr>
    );
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="row">
       ...
      </div>
    );
  }
}

You could also make use of Arrow functions to pass parameters like

onChange={(e) => this.setDesc(e,  i)}
