react.js Replace img src onerror

Question

I have a react component that is the detail view from a list.

I am trying to replace the image with a default image if the image does not exist and there is a 404 error.

I would normally use the onerror method in the img tag but that doesn't seem to be working.

I am not sure how to do this with react.

Here is my component:

import React from 'react';
import {Link} from 'react-router';
import ContactStore from '../stores/ContactStore'
import ContactActions from '../actions/ContactActions';

class Contact extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = ContactStore.getState();
    this.onChange = this.onChange.bind(this); 
 }

componentDidMount() {
  ContactStore.listen(this.onChange);
  ContactActions.getContact(this.props.params.id);
}

componentWillUnmount() {
  ContactStore.unlisten(this.onChange);
}

componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
  if (prevProps.params.id !== this.props.params.id) {
    ContactActions.getContact(this.props.params.id);
  }
}

onChange(state) {
  this.setState(state);
}

render() {
  return (
    <div className='container'>
      <div className='list-group'>
        <div className='list-group-item animated fadeIn'>
          <h4>{this.state.contact.displayname}</h4>
          <img src={this.state.imageUrl} />
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}
}

export default Contact;

This works best for me

<img src={record.picture} onError={(e)=>{e.target.onerror = null; e.target.src="image_path_here"}}/>
