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>

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

          <h3>What date is it?</h3>
          { /* Change code below this line */ }
          <CurrentDate date={Date()} />
          { /* Change code above this line */ }

You want to be the best, you MUST put the long yards in! Nothing comes easy in life so stop wishing and start DOING! So many people would rather bitch and moan than help themselves. Dont be one of those negative drainers, start today, make a small change and keep going forwards with this attitude!
