Solution

  • You can resolve setState undefined issue in two ways

    1. Change your functions to arrow functions

      componentDidMount() {
          this.database.once("value", snapshot => {
             snapshot.forEach(data => {
                this.setState({users: data.val()})
             })
          });
       }
      
    2. Bind each function like below

        componentDidMount() {
           this.database.once("value", function(snapshot) {
               snapshot.forEach(function(data) {
                   this.setState({users: data.val()})
               }.bind(this)}
           }.bind(this));
         }
