You should bind the changeRating() method to the component class instance (this) directly or indirectly. You can do this adding a constructor like:

constructor(props) {
  super(props);
  this.changeRating = this.changeRating.bind(this);
}

or by replacing changeRating() function definition with the arrow function like:

const changeRating = (newRating, name) => {
   ...
}

All the details are in the official documentation: https://reactjs.org/docs/handling-events.html (search for .bind(this)).

Or you can switch to the latest and greatest in the React world - React Hooks - and forgot about this altogether.
