Inside my render return() I have these:

<button onClick={ this.selectTimeframe('Today') }
        className={ this.setActiveIf('Today') } type="button">Today</button>

Which is this function:

selectTimeframe(timeframe) {
    // this.setState({ timeframe });
}

^ I have to comment out the setState for now otherwise I'll get that error I posted above and the app breaks.

I have this in my constructor:

this.selectTimeframe = this.selectTimeframe.bind(this);

I found this answer here, but it does not make sense, how am I suppose to pass in variable? Or is he saying that every unique button needs a unique function? As to avoid calling it inside of the render?

Full code

import React from 'react';

export class TimeframeFilter extends React.Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.state = {
            timeframe: 'Today'
        };

        this.selectTimeframe = this.selectTimeframe.bind(this);
        this.setActiveIf = this.setActiveIf.bind(this);
    }

    componentDidMount() {
        console.log('%c TimeframeFilter componentDidMount', 'background: #393939; color: #bada55', this.state);
    }

    selectTimeframe(timeframe) {
        // this.setState({ timeframe });
    }

    setActiveIf(timeframe) {
        return this.state.timeframe === timeframe ? 'btn btn-default active' : 'btn btn-default';
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div className="fl">
                <span className="label label-default mr10">Timeframe</span>
                <div className="btn-group btn-group-sm mr20" role="group">
                    <button onClick={ this.selectTimeframe('Today') }
                            className={ this.setActiveIf('Today') } type="button">Today</button>
                    <button onClick={ this.selectTimeframe('Week') }
                            className={ this.setActiveIf('Week') } type="button">Week</button>
                    <button onClick={ this.selectTimeframe('Month') }
                            className={ this.setActiveIf('Month') } type="button">Month</button>
                    <button onClick={ this.selectTimeframe('Year') }
                            className={ this.setActiveIf('Year') } type="button">Year</button>
                    <button onClick={ this.selectTimeframe('All') }
                            className={ this.setActiveIf('All') } type="button">All</button>
                </div>
            </div>
        );
    }
}

export default TimeframeFilter;
