You have learned how to pass a prop to a component:
<Greeting firstName="Esmerelda" />
You have also learned how to access and display a passed-in prop:
render() {
return <h1>{this.props.firstName}</h1>;
}
The most common use of props is to pass information to a component, from a different component. You haven't done that yet, but it's very similar to what you've seen already.
In this exercise, you will pass a prop from one component to another.
A curmudgeonly clarification about grammar:
You may have noticed some loose usage of the words prop and props. Unfortunately, this is pretty inevitable.
props is the name of the object that stores passed-in information. this.props refers to that storage object. At the same time, each piece of passed-in information is called a prop. This means that props could refer to two pieces of passed-in information, or it could refer to the object that stores those pieces of information :(
