如何更新和删除子组件中的元素数组并将其传递给 ReactJs 中的父组件

Question

I have a scenario in which I need to update the array in parent component from child component.

Eg, I am adding array contents from form, so if I have 7 items in child component ( that I am adding from child and passing them in parent component one by one from form ).

How I can edit/update single array row without mutating my original array?

The adding is working fine, I need to work on edit single item and update that in parent component ( that has all array elements from child ) but it seems like without mutation it cant be done.

Parent component:

handlePlansClick = (planData) => {
        this.setState(state => ({
            lead_plans: [...state.lead_plans, planData]
        }));
    }

Child component declaration in Parent component:

 <LeadPlans handlePlansClick={this.handlePlansClick} existing_lead_plans={this.state.lead_plans}
                                           must_contain_lead_plan={this.state.must_contain_lead_plan} lead_id={lead_id} updateMode={updateMode}/>

For adding to parent from child form I am using:

this.props.handlePlansClick({
                            id: Date.now(),
                            year: year,
                            probability: probability,
                            plan2: plan2,
                            plan3: plan3,
                            fee: fee,
                            addcosts: addcosts
                        }
                    );

For updating:

const {lead_id, lead_plans, year, probability, plan2, plan3, fee} = this.state;
            const new_lead = {
                id: lead_id,
                year,
                probability,
                plan2,
                plan3,
                fee,
            };
            const updated_lead_plans = lead_plans.map((lead) => lead.id === lead_id ? new_lead : lead);
            this.setState({
                lead_plans: updated_lead_plans,
                year: '',
                probability: '',
                plan2: '',
                plan3: '',
                fee: '',
                addcosts: '',
                newFieldsEditMode: false,
                LeadPlanSaveUpdateDialogOpen: false
            });

Now, its working as expected but problem is that its not updating my parent array in which I need to have updated array item. It updating all contents in child component only which I dont want to.

This below code needs fix as I want to remove existing item and update that updated one in parent array again that contains all array of elements:

const updated_lead_plans = lead_plans.map((lead) => lead.id === lead_id ? new_lead : lead);
            this.setState({
                lead_plans: updated_lead_plans,
                year: '',
                probability: '',
                plan2: '',
                plan3: '',
                fee: '',
                addcosts: '',
                newFieldsEditMode: false,
                LeadPlanSaveUpdateDialogOpen: false
            });

Similarly, for deletion I am using:

this.setState(prevState => ({lead_plans: prevState.lead_plans.filter(lead_offer_rec => lead_offer_rec !== lead_plan_row)}));

But it only working in child component as I want to remove item and update my parent array with that removed item as well.

How I can get that edit/update/delete from child and pass the updated array to parent again?

In React the data flow should always be from the parent component to the child component and not vice versa.You can use a 'Global State management tool' like Redux to pass data from one component to any other component(s) and update the root state object. Also Redux has a lot of boilerplate while implementing it so if the app is simple you can use MobX .
