 | |
| ### What are the props?
 | |
| 
 | |
| Props (short for properties) are the data or functions passed into a component. They are immutable (read-only).
 | |
| 
 | |
| To illustrate how props are used in components, see the following example:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```javascript
 | |
| const props = {
 | |
|     name: "john",
 | |
|     age: 33,
 | |
|     country: "Canada"
 | |
| };
 | |
| 
 | |
| const PropTest = (props) => {
 | |
|   return(
 | |
|     <div
 | |
|         name={props.name}
 | |
|         age={props.age}
 | |
|         country={props.country}>
 | |
|         <ul>
 | |
|           <li>name={props.name}</li>
 | |
|           <li>age={props.age}</li>
 | |
|           <li>country={props.country}</li>
 | |
|         </ul>
 | |
|     </div>
 | |
|   );
 | |
| };
 | |
| 
 | |
| ReactDOM.render(
 | |
|     <div>
 | |
|         <PropTest {...props}/>
 | |
|     </div>
 | |
|     , mountNode
 | |
| );
 | |
| ```
 | |
| The props are created in the props constant object and then used as inputs in the component and then passed and rendered in the ReactDOM.
