React class method not defined no-undef

I'm new to react and I'm trying to pull and display data from randomuserapi. I've made the api call but when I run my app, I get the error below:

./src/App.js
Line 45:  'getData' is not defined  no-undef

Here's my code below: The getData() method is where I make the api call. That method is now called in ComponentDidMount.

I also binded getData() to my constructor but I still get the error above.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import './App.css';

class App extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      people: []
 }

 this.getData = this.getData.bind(this);
}

getData() {
 const promise = fetch('https://randomuser.me/api/?results=20')
   .then(response => {
     if (response.status >= 400) {
     throw `Response Invalid ( ${response.status} )`;
     return;
   }
   return response.json();
 })
 .then(({results}) => {
   return results;
 })
 .catch(error => {
   console.log(error);
 });

 return promise;
}

ComponenDidMount() {
  getData()
    .then(data => {
      this.setState({
        people: data
      });
    });
}

render() {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>{this.state.people.results[0].gender}</p>
    </div>
  );
 }
}

export default App;

I'm also using create-react-app from Github. Please some assistance will be helpful.

Thanks!

Try adding this. when calling your functions. this.getData() inside componentDidMount

When you reference defined methods you need to say this so:

componenDidMount() {
  this.getData()
    .then(data => {
      this.setState({
        people: data
      });
    });
}
