set initial state in react

today i was working on react form. usually i will reset the form in hard way (resetting every form value like this this.setState({data: '', value: [] })).

then came across a easy & best way in medium.thought of sharing with you all.

reference: medium.com/@justintulk/best-practices-for-r..

constructor(props){
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      inputVal: '',
      value: []
    }
    // preserve the initial state in a new object
    this.baseState = this.state 
  }

 resetForm = () => {
    this.setState(this.baseState)
  }
