Talking to a parent component
We've learned earlier that a parent passes data to a child component by props
. What about passing data from a child to a parent? The simplest way for child to talk to a parent is to call a function given from that parent:
type CounterProps = { increment: () => void; decrement: () => void; }
const Counter: React.FC<CounterProps> = ({ increment, decrement }) => {
return (
<div>
<button onClick={increment}>+</button>
<button onClick={decrement}>-</button>
</div>
)
}
const App: React.FC = () => {
const [count, setCount] = useState<number>(0)
const onIncrement = () => setCount(count + 1)
const onDecrement = () => setCount(count - 1)
return (
<div>
{ count }
<Counter increment={onIncrement} decrement={onDecrement} />
</div>
)
}
