What is props
Props, short for properties, are essential in React for passing data from parent to child components. They are immutable and facilitate a unidirectional data flow, allowing for reusable components. By using props, developers can dynamically render content based on the inputs provided.
- ▪Props stand for properties in React.
- ▪They are read-only inputs passed from a parent component to a child component.
- ▪Props enable components to render different content based on the inputs provided.
