This way, after instantiating , you don’t need to manually bind this when calling the function.<code>autobindhandleClickMyComponentthis.handleClick()</code><h1 id="3ffe">Logging</h1>Decorators can be used to record logs, including printing information such as function calls, function execution times, etc.<div id="1a70"><pre>function log(target, name, descriptor) { const originalMethod = descriptor.value;
