How to Pass an Array as Props in React

If you need to pass larger amounts of information to a component you can pass in an array rather than just a single variable.

More information on the join method on the array can be found here.

Here is the basic layout:

JSX

<ParentComponent>
  <ChildComponent colors={["green", "blue", "red"]} />
</ParentComponent>

HTML

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

Scripts

<script type="text/babel">
const List = (props) => {
  { /* Change code below this line */ }
  return <p>{props.tasks.join(",")}</p>
  { /* Change code above this line */ }
};

class ToDo extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>To Do Lists</h1>
        <h2>Today</h2>
        { /* Change code below this line */ }
        <List tasks={["eat", "sleep", "repeat"]}/>
        <h2>Tomorrow</h2>
        <List tasks={["sleep", "eat", "repeat"]}/>
        { /* Change code above this line */ }
      </div>
    );
  }
};
  ReactDOM.render(<ToDo />, document.getElementById('challenge-node'));
</script>

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!

The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually, you’ll become stale. If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish. . . . Somehow the more you give away, the more comes back to you.
