class Header extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {color: "red"};
}
static getDerivedStateFromProps(props, state) {
return {color: props.color };
}
changeColor = () => {
this.setState({color: "blue"});
}
render() {
return (
div>
h1>Your Color is {this.state.ecolor}h1>
button type="button" onClick={this.changeColor}>Change this colorbutton>
div>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(Header favcol="yellow"/>, document.getElementById('root'));
Result of this example is – Your color is Yellow
