onClick

Explanation:

In React, the onClick event handler is used to handle click events for an element, such as
buttons, links, or other interactive elements. It allows you to define a function that gets executed
when the user clicks on the element.

Example:

jsx

CopyEdit

●​ function handleClick() {
●​ alert('Button clicked!');
●​ }
●​
●​ function App() {
●​ return <button onClick={handleClick}>Click Me</button>;
●​ }

Key Points:

●​ The onClick handler is written in camelCase (onClick) in JSX, unlike the lowercase
onclick in plain HTML.
●​ The value of onClick is typically a function or a reference to a function that gets
executed when the click event occurs.

Why not the other options?

●​ onHover: There is no onHover event in React. Instead, you can use onMouseEnter
or onMouseOver for hover behavior.
●​ onDrag: This handles drag events but is not related to click events.
●​ onChange: This is used for input field changes (e.g., text fields,

Which option correctly passes an object as a prop to a child component? 1
<ChildComponent data={{ name: 'John', age: 25 }} /> 2 <ChildComponent data="name:
'John', age: 25" /> 3 <ChildComponent>{ name: 'John', age: 25 }</ChildComponent> 4
<ChildComponent data=[{ name: 'John', age: 25 }] />

The correct answer is:

1. <ChildComponent data={{ name: 'John', age: 25 }} />

Explanation:

In React, to pass an object as a prop to a child component, you use curly braces {} to embed
the object within the JSX. This syntax ensures the object is interpreted as a JavaScript object.

Example:

jsx

CopyEdit

●​ function ChildComponent({ data }) {


●​ return (
●​ <div>
●​ <p>Name: {data.name}</p>
●​ <p>Age: {data.age}</p>
●​ </div>
●​ );
●​ }
●​
●​ function ParentComponent() {
●​ return <ChildComponent data={{ name: 'John', age: 25 }} />;
●​ }

Why not the other options?


●​ 2. <ChildComponent data="name: 'John', age: 25" />​
This passes a string, not an object. The child component would receive a string like
"name: 'John', age: 25", which is not what you want if you're working with
structured data.
●​ 3. <ChildComponent>{ name: 'John', age: 25 }</ChildComponent>​
This syntax is invalid because React treats the content between the tags as children, not
as a prop. The value { name: 'John', age: 25 } would result in a syntax error.
●​ 4. <ChildComponent data=[{ name: 'John', age: 25 }] />​
This passes an array containing one object instead of just the object itself. While valid, it
changes the data type and might not align with the expected structure in the child
component.

How can you pass a simple string as a prop to a child component? 1 <ChildComponent
prop="Hello" /> 2 <ChildComponent>Hello</ChildComponent> 3 <ChildComponent
prop={'Hello'} /> 4 <ChildComponent>{'Hello'}</ChildComponent>

ChatGPT said:

The correct answers are:

1. <ChildComponent prop="Hello" />​


3. <ChildComponent prop={'Hello'} />

Explanation:

Both options correctly pass a string as a prop to the child component. In React:

●​ Double quotes ("): Strings can be passed directly as props using double quotes.
●​ Curly braces ({}): Strings can also be passed using curly braces if you're working with
JavaScript expressions.

Example:

jsx

CopyEdit

●​ function ChildComponent({ prop }) {


●​ return <h1>{prop}</h1>;
●​ }
●​
●​ function ParentComponent() {
●​ return <ChildComponent prop="Hello" />;
●​ // OR
●​ // return <ChildComponent prop={'Hello'} />;
●​ }

Why not the other options?

●​ 2. <ChildComponent>Hello</ChildComponent>​
This passes the string "Hello" as children, not as a prop. It would be accessible in the
child component via props.children, not props.prop.
●​ 4. <ChildComponent>{'Hello'}</ChildComponent>​
Like option 2, this also passes "Hello" as children, not as a prop.

Which of the following is a valid way to render a list of elements in JSX using the map
function? 1 {for (let item of items) { /* JSX code / }} 2 {items.map(item => { / JSX code /
})} 3 {while (condition) { / JSX code / }} 4 {items.forEach(item => { / JSX code */ })}

ChatGPT said:

The correct answer is:

2. {items.map(item => { /* JSX code */ })}

Explanation:

In React, the map function is the standard way to iterate over an array and render a list of
elements. It transforms each element in the array into a new JSX element, which is then
rendered.

Example:
jsx

CopyEdit

●​ const items = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Cherry'];


●​
●​ function App() {
●​ return (
●​ <ul>
●​ {items.map((item, index) => (
●​ <li key={index}>{item}</li>
●​ ))}
●​ </ul>
●​ );
●​ }

Why not the other options?

1.​ {for (let item of items) { /* JSX code */ }}​


React does not allow using for loops directly inside JSX expressions. If needed, you
must use a for loop outside JSX to construct elements beforehand.
2.​ {while (condition) { /* JSX code */ }}​
Similar to for, while loops cannot be used directly inside JSX. JSX expects an
expression that returns a value, such as the result of map.
3.​ {items.forEach(item => { /* JSX code */ })}​
The forEach method does not return anything (undefined). It is used for performing
side effects, not for creating a new array of elements, so it is unsuitable for rendering
lists in JSX.
