Data can be passed to components via props.

https://facebook.github.io/react/tutorial/tutorial.html#passing-data-through-props

In your case props would be accessed inside the components via this.props.

<TodoList /> takes a prop called items which is an array. Inside <TodoList /> you can map through that array and return elements.

For example in the render method of your class you would return TodoList with a prop of items:

const myItems = [{ name: 'item 1' }, { name: 'item2' }];
function MyApp() {
    return (
       <TodoList items={myItems} />
    );
}

Then in TodoList you map the items

function TodoList({ items }) {
    return items.map(item => (
        <h1>{item.name}</h1>
    ));
}

Passing arrays from one component to another, using props. (Example) | Treehouse Community
January 14, 2022 - "But maybe that's too many calls to the server." My understanding of React was since I've already got the necessary data (emails) from a route used in the MenuItems component, that I'd be able to map through that data, put it in an array and pass it as props to the StatLine component.

You could abstract it into an object, like this: const obj = { role: roleArray, race: raceArray, } then access it like: obj.role // returns roleArray More on reddit.com

Can't pass array as props to child functions [beginner]
You are very close to understanding how to pass things to child components. When you do this: It is not like calling a function with arguments like header(title, text) instead React takes all the arguments and puts them in an object, which is referred to as props like: header({ title, text }) so in your Content component Content = (props) => props is an object which has parts as a key which contains your array. Which looks like: props = { parts: [ { ... }, { ... etc } ] } So you just need to refer to it as props.parts and you are good. Once you understand that I think you have a couple more issues with how you are designing components. Not sure why you would have a Part1/Part2/Part3 component. React helps with building reusable components. You should build a generic Part component which receives name and exercises as props. Also look into the Array function map to render your list of Parts. It is integral to writing React code. More on reddit.com

March 14, 2024 -

Hi Everyone,

This feels like a 101 level question, but its been a long day!

In App I am importing a bunch of arrays all with the naming convention xxxxArray. Eg raceArray, roleArray

App also has a state "choice" and child buttons that update "choice" to a string. Eg "race", "role."

App also calls another component that should take an imported array as props - eg <Details collection={raceArray} />

For the life of me I cannot workout how to take the "choice" string and concatenate it with "Array" to have it refer to one of the imported arrays that is then passed to <Details>.

This seems like a pretty quick thing - am I thinking about it wrong? Any advice appreciated

How to render an array of components in React | Atomized Objects
To render an array of components in React you simply need to pass the array into JSX by wrapping it in curly braces, just be sure that your components each have a unique key prop because React will use this when rendering it to avoid bugs.

r/reactjs on Reddit: Can't pass array as props to child functions [beginner]
March 24, 2021 -

Hello!

I'm taking my first steps into React -and JV- and encounter a problem I can't solve. It looks like one of those that are actually incredibly simple, the answer just in front of my eyes. But, dammit, I can't see it.

With create-react-app I've been messing with the App.js file. I'm trying to define an Array of objects, and then pass those objects to child functions.

App function:

import React from 'react'

const App = () => {
  const parts = [
    {
      name: 'This is part 1',
      exercises: 20
    },
    {
      name: 'Part two it is',
      exercises: 5
    },
    {
      name: 'Threeee',
      exercises: 16
    }
  ]
  console.log(parts)     //output array: (3) [{…}, {…}, {…}]
  console.log(parts[0])      //output object:{name: "This is part 1", exercises: 20}  
  return (
    <div>
      <Content parts={parts} />
    </div>
  )
}

Content function:

const Content = (props) => {
  console.log(props)  //output object!?: {parts: Array(3)}
  console.log(props[0])  //output: undefined
  return (
    <>
    <Part1 props={props[0]} />
    <Part2 props={props[1]} />
    <Part3 props={props[2]} />
    </>
  )
}

part1 function (part2 and part3 are the same as this):

const Part1 = (props2) => {
  console.log(props2)  //output object!?: {props: undefined}
  return (
    <>
    <p>
      {props2.name} {props2.exercises}
    </p>
    </>
  )
}

What I need to accomplish for the exercise is to only pass the array parts in App function like this: <Content parts={parts} />

Then Content function should use the object indexed 0 on the array and pass it to Part1, which should return the <p> code.

I guess there's an error when passing the array to Content. It gets converted to an object and then I cant use the index method. If I try props[0] I get nothing for it is undefined. If I try to console.log(props[0].name) I get the error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined

How can I pass the array to the child functions? I know the structure of the app might not be ideal, but it's exercise 1.4 for the Fullstackopen Course, by the University of Helsinki. I changed the actual content and eliminated some code to avoid trouble.

I will appreciate any help with the code and with the way I presented my problem, I also have to learn how to do that! Thanks!
