passing down function as prop 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 function with parameter as prop
class SomeComponent extends Component{
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.myFunction = this.myFunction.bind(this);
}
myFunction(param){
console.log('do something: ', param);
}
render(){
return (<div><ChildComponent1 myFunction={this.myFunction}/></div>)
}
}
class ChildComponent1{
render(){
return (<div><ChildComponent2 myFunction={this.props.myFunction}/></div>)
}
}
class ChildComponent2{
render(){
return (<Button onClick={()=>this.props.myFunction(param)}>SomeButton</Button>)
}
}
