|  | ## Pass an Array as Props
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | To pass an array as a prop, first an array must be declared as a "tasks" prop on each of the components to be rendered: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript | ||
|  | const List= (props) => { | ||
|  |   return <p></p> | ||
|  | }; | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | class ToDo extends React.Component { | ||
|  |   constructor(props) { | ||
|  |     super(props); | ||
|  |   } | ||
|  |   render() { | ||
|  |     return ( | ||
|  |       <div> | ||
|  |         <h1>To Do Lists</h1> | ||
|  |         <h2>Today</h2> | ||
|  |         <List tasks={["Walk", "Cook", "Bake"]} /> | ||
|  |         <h2>Tomorrow</h2> | ||
|  |         <List tasks={["Study", "Code", "Eat"]}/> | ||
|  |       </div> | ||
|  |     ); | ||
|  |   } | ||
|  | }; | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Then, the props must be handled inside the "List" component: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript | ||
|  | const List= (props) => { | ||
|  |   return <p>{props.tasks.join(", ")}</p> | ||
|  | }; | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // ... same as above | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | The `.join(", ")` method is used to take each element from within the array and join them into a string to be displayed. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | We are using the modularity of React in this example to display the tasks passed by two different components to a common component which renders the final HTML. | ||
