call props function react code example

Example 1: defining functions in react

export default class Archive extends React.Component { 

    saySomething(something) {
        console.log(something);
    }

    handleClick(e) {
        this.saySomething("element clicked");
    }

    componentDidMount() {
        this.saySomething("component did mount");
    }

    render() {
        return <button onClick={this.handleClick.bind(this)} value="Click me" />;
    }
}

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>;
  }
}
