 * **Computed data:** Don't worry about precomputing values based on state — it's easier to ensure that your UI is consistent if you do all computation within `render()`. For example, if you have an array of list items in state and you want to render the count as a string, simply render `this.state.listItems.length + ' list items'` in your `render()` method rather than storing it on state.
