You don't need to define a constructor explicitly , and then do super(props).You can access the props as in the example below. i.e. 'prop1'

class MySpecialComponent extends React.Component {
    state = { 
    thing: true ,
   prop1:this.props.prop1
  }
  myAttribute = { amazing: false }


 myMethod = (e) => {
  this.setState({ thing: e.target.value })
}


  render(){
  console.log(this.state.prop1);
   return(
       
Hi
   );

   }
 }


 ReactDOM.render( , mountNode);
