In React, components can receive information from a parent component by utilizing props (short for properties). A prop is an object accessible to all React components. It serves as a means to pass data from a parent component to a child component.

<Welcome fullName = "Ashish Bhardwaj" />

In the provided code, the prop `fullName` is passed with the value “Ashish Bhardwaj” to the `Welcome` component, and accessing this prop is demonstrated succinctly.

props = { fullName: "Ashish Bhardwaj" }

In case of functional components, we can access a prop value as shown below.

props.propName;

Example: Below is the basic implementation of the React Props.

Javascript




//index.js
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import App from "./App";
 
ReactDOM.render(
    <React.StrictMode>
        <App fullName={"Ashish Bhardwaj"} />
    </React.StrictMode>,
    document.getElementById("root")
);


Javascript




//App.js
import React from "react";
 
function App(props) {
    return (
        <div style={{
            color: "green",
            textAlign: "center"
        }}>
            <h1 style={{
                color: "red",
            }}>Hello {props.fullName}</h1>
            <h2>App to GeeksforGeeks</h2>
        </div>
    );
}
 
export default App;

React JS Methods as Props

We know that everything in ReactJS is a component and to pass in data to these components, props are used.

PropTypes help in specifying the expected data types of the props (properties) that a component should receive during its use.

React allows us to pass information to a Component using something called props

We will learn about some more advanced concepts about props in this article

Unidirectional Data Flow

Unidirectional data flow is a technique that is mainly found in functional reactive programming.

React JS State in React

The state in React is an instance of the React Component Class that can be defined as an object of a set of observable properties that control the behavior of the component.

React JS State vs props

States and props are two of the most important concepts of React and everything in React is based upon them.
