React: TypeError: Cannot call a class as a function

I have this simple code:

    class App extends Component {

        render() {
            return (
                <div>
                    <PanelPayment />
                </div>
            );
        }
    }
    export default App

And this:

export default class PanelPayment {
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <button>Pay now!</button>
            </div>
        )
    }
}

And I am getting error:

You should declare PanelPayment as a react component. 

class PanelPayment extends Component{
 render() {
     return (
         <div>
             <button>Pay now!</button>
         </div>
     )
 }
}
export default PanelPayment

  • Firstly each React class must inherit from Component class. Currently your PanelPayment class is not!
  • Secondly in a single js file, there can be only 1 default class. In case you have both the classes in single file then you can export only one of them as default.

You forget extend it as React.Component class:

export default class PanelPayment extends Component{
 render() {
     return (
         <div>
             <button>Pay now!</button>
         </div>
     )
 }
}
