How to Pass Props Effectively in React Router

In React development, passing props is a crucial concept that allows components to communicate with each other. One common scenario that developers encounter is the need to pass data from one component to another when navigating through routes. In this post, we will explore how to effectively pass props in routes, using a simple example involving countries and components in a React application.

Understanding the Problem

Suppose you have a component, Country.js, where users can select their country from a dropdown menu. When the user selects a country and clicks a button, we want to navigate to another component, Home.js, while passing the selected country as a prop. How can this be accomplished within the context of React Router?

Below is a simplified scenario presented in the App.js file:

In the above example, the Country component is the main entry point, and clicking a button should redirect the user to the Home component.

Solution Overview

To solve this problem, we need to manage the state of the selected country in a parent component (in this case, App.js) since both Country and Home are children of App.js. We can achieve this by using the React useState hook to maintain the country state and passing it down as props.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to effectively pass props in your React application:

1. Setting Up State in App.js

We will first declare a state variable in App.js to hold the selected country. The initial implementation of App.js will be modified as follows:

2. Handling Country Selection in Country.js

Next, we need to handle the country selection in Country.js by creating a function that will update the country state. Here’s how Country.js will look:

Key Things to Note

State Management: It's essential to manage the selected country state one level up (in App.js) to ensure that both the Country and Home components can access it.

Render Props: We used the render prop in the Route component to pass props dynamically, which allows us to control how components receive props based on application state.

Callback Handling: The handleSelect function utilizes useCallback to ensure that the function reference remains stable between renders, optimizing performance.

Conclusion

By following this structured approach, you can effectively pass props between components in a React Router setup. This allows for more dynamic and interactive applications where users can select data in one component and pass it to another without losing context or state.

Now that you have a solid understanding of how to pass props in routes, you can implement similar strategies in your React applications. Happy coding!
