Understanding Props in React

What are Props?

Props (short for properties) are how React components communicate with one another. Similar to secret school notes, these notes give data and instructions for sharing information across components.

Props are unchangeable, which means that once given to a child component, they can not be changed by that component.

This guarantees that your application’s data flow is consistent and controllable.
