What are component properties?
In React, component properties, commonly known as props, allow us to pass data from a parent component to its child components. Props provide a way to customize and configure components, making them flexible and reusable. Props are read-only, meaning that the child component should not modify them directly. Instead, the parent component can update the props value and trigger a re-render of the child component with the updated data.
When defining a function component, you can access the props passed to it as a parameter:
const MyComponent = (props) => {
return (
<div>
<h1>{props.title}</h1>
<p>{props.description}</p>
</div>
);
};
In the above example, the MyComponent
function component receives the props object as a parameter. We can access the individual props by using dot notation, such as props.title
and props.description
, to render the data within the component’s JSX...
