extending React.Component vs Component

Question

I just got in a project on React Native, where I constantly see classes extending both React.Component and Component itself.

Examples:

class SomeView extends React.Component

or

class OtherView extends Component

in both of them we are importing React, {Component} from React

Is there any actual difference, if so, which one? Didn't found any info on the web. Cheers!

Well you can do whatever you want really.

Doing import { Component } from 'react' is effectively the same thing as React.Component.

The import { Component } from 'react' syntax is called a Named Import

The import statement is used to import bindings which are exported by another module.

import defaultExport from "module-name"; import * as name from "module-name"; import { export } from "module-name"; import { export as alias } from "module-name"; import { export1 , export2 } from "module-name"; import { export1 , export2 as alias2 , [...] } from "module-name"; import defaultExport, { export [ , [...] ] } from "module-name"; import defaultExport, * as name from "module-name"; import "module-name";
