React Pass function to child component


I want to pass a function to a child component but I'm getting this error.

Invalid value for prop passedFunction on <div> tag.

class Parent extends Component {
    passedFunction(){}
    render() {
      <Child passedFunction={this.passedFunction}/>
    }
}

class Child extends Component {
    render() {
        <div onClick={this.props.passedFunction}></div>
    }
}

Basically what I'm trying to do.

var ReactGridLayout = require('react-grid-layout');

var MyFirstGrid = React.createClass({
passedFunction:function(){}
  render: function () {
    return (
      <ReactGridLayout className="layout" cols={12} rowHeight={30} width={1200}>
        <div key="a" data-grid={{x: 0, y: 0, w: 1, h: 2, static: true}}>a</div>
        <div key="b" data-grid={{x: 1, y: 0, w: 3, h: 2, minW: 2, maxW: 4}}>b</div>
        <div key="c" data-grid={{x: 4, y: 0, w: 1, h: 2}} passedFunction={this.passedFunction}>c</div>
      </ReactGridLayout>
    )
  }
});

It seems it was introduced in React v16. Therefore, what is the correct way to pass a function from parent to child?


Solution

  • I found out what was wrong. It was because of react-grid-layout. I have to pass the rest of the properties to child.

    class Child extends Component {
        render() {
            var { passedFunction, ...otherProps } = this.props;
            return (
                <div onClick={passedFunction} {...otherProps}></div>
            );           
        }
    }
