Tracing a Function Call in Javascript Using Console

In JavaScript we’re often working in the context of deeply nested functions and objects. When debugging our code, it may be necessary to traverse through the stack trace of our code.

Following code block implements the two way binding in react: class UserInput extends React.Component { state = { name: "reactgo", }; handleChange = (e) => { this.setState({ name: e.target.value, }); }; render() { return ( <div> <h1> {this.state.name} </h1> <input type="text" onChange={this.handleChange} value={this.state.name} /> </div> ); } }
