Reactjs app - Not able to fetch data with axios

Question

I am new to React, and in my very simple app, I am just trying to read and display a json data (of Companies and jobs they have posted). Using React 16.3.0 and react-dom 16.3.2 and axios 0.18.0

My code is below and the final output should show the data I am trying to fetch in each row in a nice format.

But its not rendering at all and getting error - I must be doing some very stupid mistake here.

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'protocol' of undefined
    at isURLSameOrigin (isURLSameOrigin.js:57)
    at dispatchXhrRequest (xhr.js:109)
    at new Promise (<anonymous>)
    at xhrAdapter (xhr.js:12)
    at dispatchRequest (dispatchRequest.js:59)

Here's my code and here's my jsfiddle

Here's fixed jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/n85v504b/2/

The problem is you're making cross origin request which is not allowed by default. I've changed the axios call to:

axios.request({
        method: "get",
        url: this.props.source,
        crossDomain: true
      })

Also changed the promise fullfillment since this was undefined (reason explained here Why is "this" in an anonymous function undefined when using strict? )

then((result) => this.setState({jobs: result.data.jobs}))
