If you use React.createClass, React automatically binds this for you on instance methods, and it may complain unless you change it to this.handleRemove.bind(null, id).
You can also simply define the function inline; this is made shorter with arrow functions if your environment or transpiler supports them:
... onClick={() => this.handleRemove(id)}
If you need access to the event, you can just pass it along:
Something nobody has mentioned so far is to make handleRemove return a function.
You can do something like:
handleRemove = id => event => {
// Do stuff with id and event
}
// render...
return <button onClick={this.handleRemove(id)} />
However all of these solutions have the downside of creating a new function on each render. Better to create a new component for Button which gets passed the id and the handleRemove separately.
So, there's an accepted answer and a couple more that points the same. And also there are some comments preventing people from using bind within the render method, and also avoiding arrow functions there for the same reason (those functions will be created once again and again on each render). But there's no example, so I'm writing one.
Basically, you have to bind your functions in the constructor.
I am using React-Bootstrap. The onSelect trigger for dropdowns were not allowing me to pass data. Just the event. So remember you can just set any values as attributes and pick them up from the function using javascript. Picking up those attributes you set in that event target.
let currentTarget = event.target;
let currentId = currentTarget.getAttribute('data-id');
let currentValue = currentTarget.getAttribute('data-value');
