Questions

Answer the following questions, based on what we have just learned:

  1. During development, what are the TSLint settings for allowing debugger statements and logging to the console?
  2. In JSX, how can we display a button with a label from a prop called buttonLabel in a class component?
  3. How can we make the buttonLabel prop optional, and default to Do It?
  1. In JSX, how can we display this button only if the doItVisible state is true? (Assume we already have a state type declared containing doItVisible, and it has already been initialized in the constructor.)

  4. If the button is clicked when it is in a disabled state, is the click handler still executed...
