Accessing event.target inside callback in react

Question

I have the following class snippet:

constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.timeout = null;
}

search = (e) => {
    clearTimeout(this.timeout);
         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

search = (e) => {
e.persist();
clearTimeout(this.timeout);
this.timeout = setTimeout(
    function(){ console.log(e); alert(e) },
    500
);

}

Judging from your code I think that you are using babel-plugin-transform-class-properties. In that case you don't need a constructor part.
