How can a child component s props be overwritten in React

Question

With the help of example  and code tell me How can a child component's props be overwritten in React?

Answer 1

You can utilize the React.cloneElement function. This function allows you to clone a React element and pass new props to it, effectively overriding the existing ones.

Example:

import React from 'react';

const ParentComponent = ({ children }) => {

  const modifiedChildren = React.Children.map(children, child =>

    React.cloneElement(child, { newProp: 'newValue' })

  );

  return <div>{modifiedChildren}</div>;

};

const ChildComponent = ({ newProp }) => {

  return <div>{newProp}</div>;

};

// Usage

<ParentComponent>

  <ChildComponent />

</ParentComponent>
