6,386 PointsHello, Looks like it's time to update. React 16.8 let use state and other React features without writing a class
Looks like this info is outdated. Since React 16.8 it's no need to write a class to use a state and other React features. Thank you, hope it helps

7,949 PointsThank you for this! Glad I caught it early. Even though this material is great, they should be updating it constantly as needed for the sake of the students who put their money into this platform.
