How
to Pass Data from One Component to Other Component in React?
Props
are used for passing data between the components. We usually use it to pass
data from the parent component to the child component. You should check out -What if we need to pass data from Parent to Child Component???
What
if we need to pass data from Child to Parent Component???
If you are not using any state management library
like Redux or React ContextAPI and you need to pass the data from child component
to parent component.
UseCase -
When clicking on any user rows, Implement functionality to get that user row
data from the state data and display on page.
Solution
- Use Props as callback functions.
Let’s
see an Example,
I
have created two components one is – Parent Component as DisplyList.js and
other one is – Child Component as UserListItem.js.
Parent
Component - DisplyList.js
import React from 'react'
import ListItem from '../src/listItem'
export class DisplyList extends React.Component {
// Set dummy data
state = {
data: [{ id: 1, name: 'Anil', email: 'anil.singh581@gmail.com' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Aradhya', email: 'aradhya@gmail.com' }
]
}
//This is the row data from ChildComponent
getUserData = (userRowData) => {
console.log(userRowData);
}
render() {
return (
<div>
{
this.state.data.map((user, i) => (
<ListItem userRowData={user} handleClick={this.getUserData} key={i} />
))
}
</div>
);
}
}
export default DisplyList;
Child
Component - UserListItem.js
import React from 'react';
const UserListItem = (props) => {
return (
// Using Props handleClick as callback function
<div onClick={() => props.handleClick(props.userRowData)}>
<div> ({props.userRowData.id}) : Name : {props.userRowData.name}, Email : {props.userRowData.email}</div>
</div>
);
}
export default UserListItem;
The above example code show how you can pass data
from the Child to Parent component.
If you find any error, please feel free to
correct it by commenting on it. I’m still learning and documenting what I
learn.
