How to Pass Props to a Stateless Functional Component in React

Props are like properties that you can pass into a component in react.

A prop would be something like this in your component. 

JSX

<div>
  <MyProp id="1234" />
</div>

Then you can access it with:

JSX

const MyProp = (props) => <h1>Hello, {props.id}!</h1>

The following example passes in the current date to <CurrentDate date={Date()} /> and then accesses it with props.date <p>The current date is: {props.date}</p>.

HTML

<div id="challenge-node"></div>

        { /* Change code below this line */ }
        <p>The current date is: {props.date}</p>
        { /* Change code above this line */ }
      </div>
    );
  };

  class Calendar extends React.Component {

    render() {
      return (
        <div>
          <h3>What date is it?</h3>
          { /* Change code below this line */ }
          <CurrentDate date={Date()} />
          { /* Change code above this line */ }
        </div>
      );
    }
  };
  ReactDOM.render(<Calendar />, document.getElementById('challenge-node'));

Welcome

This is my test area for webdev. I keep a collection of code snippits here, mostly for my reference. Also if i find a good site, i usually add it here.

Join me on Substack if you want me to send you a collection of the things i have done or found or read for the week. Or follow me on twitter if you prefer, i dont post much but i probably should!

In this case my anchor this week becomes driving almost 2hrs outside of Atlanta to one of my favorite hard core gyms in the world.. MetroFlex aka The Dungeon. The gym owners turn the heat way up so it becomes a fun sweat box and the gym members just watch from afar and leave me alone. I happily drive myself long distances to find MY ANCHOR. Our anchor allows us to have balance, focus and be as productive as possible. And if you're in the middle of a heavy set and your headphones start to fall off your head, like mine did here.. well.. f*ck the headphones. Let em break and fall. You can always get a new pair, but the iron ain't ever gonna lift itself.
