Component Props

Component props (short for properties) are a fundamental concept in component-based frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular, used to pass data from a parent component to a child component. They enable components to be reusable, configurable, and dynamic by allowing external input to control their behavior and appearance. Props are read-only within the receiving component, ensuring a unidirectional data flow that helps maintain predictable state management.

Also known as: Properties, Props, Component Properties, React Props, Vue Props

Why learn Component Props?

Developers should learn component props when building applications with modern front-end frameworks to create modular, reusable UI components. This is essential for scenarios like building dynamic user interfaces, passing user input or application state down the component tree, and implementing component composition patterns. Mastering props is crucial for efficient development in frameworks like React, where they are a core part of the component lifecycle and data handling.
