How to pass child prop to parent?


I've got some dynamic buttons that are a child component, and get assigned a value="URL" based off of my MongoDB. How do I go about passing that generated value to my parent/web component src={currentSrc}? When I assign it, it says that currentSrc is not defined?

Here's the SizeOptions:

import { useState } from "react";

export const SizeOptions = ({ size }) => {
  const sizeName = Object.keys(size);

  // Update Model Viewers Src
  function changeSize (){
    setSrc(currentSrc)
    console.log(currentSrc)
  }

  if (!sizeName) return <></>;

  return (
    <div>
        {size[sizeName].map((item) => (
          <button key={item} className='size' value={item} onClick={changeSize} currentSrc={item}>
            {sizeName}
          </button>
        ))}
    </div>
  );
};

And here is the ProductScreen:

import './ProductScreen.css';
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";

//Components
import { SizeOptions } from '../components/SizeOptions';

const [currentSrc, setSrc] = useState(size[sizeName][0])

const ProductScreen = ({match}) => {
return(
<div className='sizebuttons'>
  {product && (product.size || []).map((size, index) => (<SizeOptions  key={index} size={size} setSrc={currentSrc} changeSize={changeSize}/>))}
</div>
<div className="productscreen__right">
  <model-viewer
    id="model-viewer"
    src={currentSrc}
    alt={product.productName}
    ar
    ar-modes="scene-viewer quick-look"
    ar-placement="floor"
    shadow-intensity="1"
    camera-controls
    min-camera-orbit={product.mincameraorbit} 
    max-camera-orbit={product.maxcameraorbit}
    interaction-prompt="none">  
      <button slot="ar-button" className="ar-button">
        View in your space
      </button>
  </model-viewer>
</div>
)}

The rendered button:

HTML

I have more code inside my ProductScreen, I just tried to keep it as minimized as possible to try and make it easier to help me figure it out! Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Solution

  • Good news! I finally figured it out after many, many attempts.

    So in order to pass from child to parent this is what I came up with:

    SizeOptions.js

    export const SizeOptions = ({ size, changeSrc }) => {
        const sizeName = Object.keys(size);
    
        if (!sizeName) return <></>;
    
        return (
        <div>
            {size[sizeName].map((url) => (
                <button key={url} className='size' value={url} onClick={() => changeSrc(url)}>
                    {sizeName}
                </button>
            ))}
        </div>
      );
    };
    
    export default SizeOptions;
    

    ProductScreen.js

    import './ProductScreen.css';
    import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
    import { useSelector, useDispatch } from "react-redux";
    
    // Actions
    import { getProductDetails } from "../redux/actions/productActions";
    
    //Components
    import { SizeOptions } from '../components/SizeOptions';
    
    const ProductScreen = ({match}) => {
    
        const dispatch = useDispatch();
        
        const productDetails = useSelector(state => state.getProductDetails);
        const { loading, error, product } = productDetails;
        
        const [ src, setSrc ] = useState("Default URL")
    
    return(
    
        <div className='sizebuttons'>
            {product && (product.size || []).map((size, index) => (<SizeOptions  key={index} size=  {size} changeSrc={src => setSrc(src)}/>))}
        </div>
                  
        <model-viewer
            id="model-viewer"
            src={src}
            alt={product.productName}
            ar
            ar-modes="scene-viewer quick-look"
            ar-placement="floor"
            shadow-intensity="1"
            camera-controls
            min-camera-orbit={product.mincameraorbit} 
            max-camera-orbit={product.maxcameraorbit}
            interaction-prompt="none">  
            <button slot="ar-button" className="ar-button">
                View in your space
            </button>
        </model-viewer>
    )};
    

    The only issue now is how to make the "Default URL" actually be a URL as right now if I put {src} there, it says it cannot do that before the component is rendered.
