Study Notes

Props Overview

Props (short for properties) enable data transfer between components in React.
They are immutable, meaning they cannot be modified by the receiving component.
Used to customize component behavior and appearance.

Creating a Parent Component

A parent component can pass data to a child component through props.
Example given with ParentComponent which holds a message string.
The message, "Hello from the Parent Component!", is passed to ChildComponent.

Creating a Child Component

The child component (e.g., ChildComponent) receives props from the parent.
Accessing props involves using props.message to display the passed data.
The example uses a simple <div> to render the message dynamically.

Passing Dynamic Data with Props

Props can also handle dynamic data, such as user profiles or settings.
Example involves an App component that constructs a user object with relevant data.
This user object is passed to UserProfile for display of individual user attributes: name, age, and email.

Conclusion

Props are integral to React, facilitating data flow and enhancing component reusability.
They allow for dynamic content management, improving application interactivity and user experience.
