You can't use React Hooks such as useState in class component. It only works in functional component. If you want to use state in class component, please follow as:

class PostIndex extends React.Component {
   state = {posts: []}; // define state
        .....
   this.setState({
       posts: ['a', 'b']
   }); // set state
        .....
   let temp = this.state.posts; // use state
        .....

I hope this will help you. Thanks.

You can't use hooks in the class components, check docs rather use functional component:

const PostIndex = () => {
  const [posts, setPosts] = useState([]);
  // rest of your code....
  }

  export default PostIndex;

You cant use react class components with react hooks.

So the right solution will be something like this:

const PostIndex = () => {

  //define state
  const [posts, setPosts] = useState([]);

  //useEffect hook
  useEffect(() => {

      //panggil method "fetchData"
      fectData();

  }, []);

  //function "fetchData"
  const fectData = async () => {
      //fetching
      const response = await axios.get('http://localhost:3000/api/posts');
      //get response data
      const data = await response.data.data;

      //assign response data to state "posts"
      setPosts(data);
  }

  return your markup
}
