Pass Data From Child to Parent Component in React

React is a powerful JavaScript library for making user interfaces, and it’s great at keeping track of component structures. It’s common to pass data from child to parent component. This article will talk about three popular ways to do this:

  1. Using Callback Functions: In this way, a callback function is sent as a prop from the parent component to the child component. After that, the child component can call the callback method and send information back to the parent component.

  2. Using the Context API: React comes with the Context API built-in feature, which lets components share data without having to pass props through each level of the component tree. It allows the creation of a global state accessible to all components within a particular context.

  3. Adding a State Management Library like Redux: Redux is a well-known tool for managing states in React apps. It provides a centralized store to manage the application state, which makes it easier for components to share data and pass data from child components to parent components.

In React, these methods offer different ways to pass data from child components to parent components. You should pick the way that fits your needs the best because each one has its own benefits and situations where it works best.
