It's not a dumb question at all. It's relatively new, and I would implore the originator of that comment to take a different tone. It requires a newer browser or some sort of transpilation step. (You're probably already using one if you're using React)
Most of the React community has forged forward with ES6/ES2015, so learning that is definitely a part of the process.
- mudetroit 10y agoHe may have chosen to use newer syntax, but the same pattern can be used without computed keys with only a tiny more code: var stateUpdate = {} stateUpdate[event.target.name] = event.target.value; this.setState=(stateUpdate); I don't think there was anything necessarily wrong with his tone as he was addressing the tone of the original article.
- akhilcacharya 10y agoThis is exactly what I've been using for a while now, and was hoping something better already existed in ES6. Great to know there is! FWIW, this is supported in the newest Chrome as well.
- nobleach 10y agoTelling someone, "or maybe you should learn JavaScript" is kind a really jerky way of saying, "you don't know what you're doing". I do think it was a terrible way to share knowledge. Yet it was an excellent way to say, "I know more than you".
- moo360 10y agoI agree it is rather combative, however it's also true. To claim that X pattern is a reason to not use a library when said pattern is actually an anti-pattern you've used because of lack of understanding is going to garner these kinds of reactions.
