How to Dynamically Change Props in React Components

In the world of React, components often pass data to their child components through props. This is a powerful feature, allowing for dynamic rendering and state management. However, a common question that arises is: How do you change the props of a component that you also receive as a prop? In this guide, we will tackle this question by walking you through a practical example and providing a clear solution.

Understanding the Problem

Let’s break down the components involved in our example. We have a Parent component that renders a ChildComponent and passes an Icon as a prop. Our goal is to dynamically change the color of the icon inside the Child component, based on its props. Here's a brief look at our component structure:

Parent Component: Renders ChildComponent, passing an Icon.

Child Component: Receives the Icon as a prop and attempts to render it.

The Components

Here's how the two components are structured:

In the code above, the Child component receives an icon prop from the Parent. Now, our challenge is to dynamically change the appearance of this icons, such as its color.

The Solution: Changing Props in React

To achieve our goal, we can use JavaScript’s object spread operator to pass props down to the Icon component. By doing this, we can modify its appearance, including its color.

Revised Code Structure

Let’s see how we can implement this change:

Explanation of the Changes

Passing the Icon Component: In the Parent, we pass the Icon component directly instead of rendering it and passing the JSX. This allows us to manipulate its props in the Child.

Creating a Props Object: Within the Child component, we create a props object that contains the properties we want to pass to the Icon. For instance, if we want to set its color, we can specify it here.

Using the Spread Operator: By using {...props}, we can pass all properties from the props object to the Icon component. This way, the Icon can receive dynamic values that control its rendering.

Conclusion

Changing props of a component received as a prop is a great way to add flexibility and dynamism to your React applications. By understanding how to utilize prop drilling and the spread operator, you can effectively manage component behaviors and render conditions within your app.
