Like any component, function components can receive information via props.

To access these props, give your function component a parameter named props. Within the function body, you can access the props using this pattern: props.propertyName. You don’t need to use the this keyword.

export function YesNoQuestion (props) { return ( <div> <p>{props.prompt}</p> <input value="Yes" /> <input value="No" /> </div> ); } ReactDOM.render( <YesNoQuestion prompt="Have you eaten an apple today?" />, document.getElementById('app'); );

In the above example, we pass a value of “Have you eaten an apple today?” as the prompt prop when rendering YesNoQuestion.
