I saw some questions speaking about similar issues but somehow I still do not manage to solve my issue so here I am asking for your kind help. I am pretty new to React and would like to send a function from a Parent to a child and then use it from the Child but somehow when I want to use it it says
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'props' of undefined"
Edited Code after first answers were helping:
var Menu = React.createClass({
links : [
{key : 1, name : "help", click : this.props.changePageHelp}
],
render : function() {
var menuItem = this.links.map(function(link){
return (
<li key={link.key} className="menu-help menu-link" onClick={link.click}>{link.name}</li>
)
});
return (
<ul>
{menuItem}
</ul>
)
}
});
var Admin = React.createClass ({
_changePageHelp : function() {
console.log('help');
},
render : function () {
return (
<div>
<div id="menu-admin"><Menu changePageHelp={this._changePageHelp.bind(this)} /></div>
</div>
)
}
});
ReactDOM.render(<Admin />, document.getElementById('admin'));
Pass a value from Menu function and recieve it in the changePageHelp function and it works.
var Menu = React.createClass({ render : function() { return ( <div> {this.props.changePageHelp('Hello')} </div> ) } }); var Admin = React.createClass ({ _changePageHelp : function(help) { return help; }, render : function () { return ( <div> <div id="menu-admin"><Menu changePageHelp={this._changePageHelp.bind(this)} /></div> </div> ) } }); ReactDOM.render(<Admin />, document.getElementById('admin'));

For performance reasons, you should avoid using bind
or arrow functions in JSX props. This is because a copy of the event handling function is created for every instance generated by the map()
function. This is explained here: https://github.com/yannickcr/eslint-plugin-react/blob/master/docs/rules/jsx-no-bind.md
To avoid this you can pull the repeated section into its own component. Here is a demo: http://codepen.io/PiotrBerebecki/pen/EgvjmZ The console.log()
call in your parent component receives now the name of the link. You could use it for example in React Router.
var Admin = React.createClass ({
_changePageHelp : function(name) {
console.log(name);
},
render : function () {
return (
<div>
<div id="menu-admin">
<Menu changePageHelp={this._changePageHelp} />
</div>
</div>
);
}
});
var Menu = React.createClass({
getDefaultProps: function() {
return {
links: [
{key: 1, name: 'help'},
{key: 2, name: 'about'},
{key: 3, name: 'contact'}
]
};
},
render: function() {
var menuItem = this.props.links.map((link) => {
return (
<MenuItem key={link.key}
name={link.name}
changePageHelp={this.props.changePageHelp}
className="menu-help menu-link" />
);
});
return (
<ul>
{menuItem}
</ul>
);
}
});
var MenuItem = React.createClass ({
handleClick: function() {
this.props.changePageHelp(this.props.name);
},
render : function () {
return (
<li onClick={this.handleClick}>
Click me to console log in Admin component <b>{this.props.name}</b>
</li>
);
}
});
ReactDOM.render(<Admin />, document.getElementById('admin'));
