I have seen this in a codebase:



Class MyComponent extends React.Component 

constructor(props)

if(!props.value) return null

this.state =

value: props.value




....




This is a React Component.



I am wondering what could happen if you return early in the constructor?



Would the component be instantiated? Can this cause issues?
