How can I call parent method in a child React component?
Solution 1:
Try this. Passing the function down as props to the child component.
import Parent from './parent.js';
class Child extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
};
click = () => {
this.props.parentMethod();
}
render() {
<div onClick={this.click}>Hello Child</div>
}
}
class Parent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
};
someMethod() {
console.log('bar');
}
render() {
<Child parentMethod={this.someMethod}>Hello Parent, {this.props.children}</Child>
}
}
