So I am following along the video and its telling me that there is a problem with my line of value.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
class AddPlayerForm extends Component {
state: { value:'' };
handleValueChange = (e) => { this.setState({ value: e.target.value }); }
handleSubmits = (e) => { e.preventDefault(); this.props.addPlayer(this.state.value); }
render(){ return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmits}>
<input
type="text"
value={this.state.value} // this line has TypeError //
onChange={this.handleValueChange}
placeholder="Enter a player's name"
/>
<input
type="submit"
value="Add Player"
/>
</form>
);
} }
export default AddPlayerForm;

state: {
value: ''
};
try:
state = {
value: ''
};
