props and components in react code example

Example 1: create react component class

class MyComponent extends React.Component{
    constructor(props){
        super(props);
    };
    render(){
        return(
            <div>
              <h1>
              	My First React Component!
              </h1>
            </div>
        );
    }
};

Example 2: pass props in react

/* PASSING THE PROPS to the 'Greeting' component */
const expression = 'Happy';
<Greeting statement='Hello' expression={expression}/> // statement and expression are the props (ie. arguments) we are passing to Greeting component

/* USING THE PROPS in the child component */
class Greeting extends Component {
  render() {
    return <h1>{this.props.statement} I am feeling {this.props.expression} today!</h1>;
  }
}

Example 3: defining props in react

  return <h1>Hello, {props.name}</h1>;
}

const element = <Welcome name="Sara" />;
ReactDOM.render(
  element,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
