The last challenge demonstrated how to pass information from a parent component to a child component as props or properties. This challenge looks at how arrays can be passed as props. To pass an array to a JSX element, it must be treated as JavaScript and wrapped in curly braces.

<ParentComponent>
  <ChildComponent colors={["green", "blue", "red"]} />
</ParentComponent>

The child component then has access to the array property colors. Array methods such as join() can be used when accessing the property.

const ChildComponent = (props) => <p>{props.colors.join(', ')}</p>

This will join all colors array items into a comma separated string and produce: <p>green, blue, red</p>. Later, we will learn about other common methods to render arrays of data in React.

--instructions--

There are List and ToDo components in the code editor. When rendering each List from the ToDo component, pass in a tasks property assigned to an array of to-do tasks, for example ["walk dog", "workout"]. Then access this tasks array in the List component, showing its value within the p element. Use join(", ") to display the props.tasks array in the p element as a comma-separated list. Today's list should have at least 2 tasks and tomorrow's should have at least 3 tasks.

--hints--

The ToDo component should return a single outer div.

assert(
  (function () {
    const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(ToDo));
    return mockedComponent.children().first().type() === 'div';
  })()
);

The third child of the ToDo component should be an instance of the List component.

assert(
  (function () {
    const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(ToDo));
    return mockedComponent.children().first().childAt(2).name() === 'List';
  })()
);

The fifth child of the ToDo component should be an instance of the List component.

assert(
  (function () {
    const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(ToDo));
    return mockedComponent.children().first().childAt(4).name() === 'List';
  })()
);

Both instances of the List component should have a property called tasks and tasks should be of type array.

assert(
  (function () {
    const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(ToDo));
    return (
      Array.isArray(mockedComponent.find('List').get(0).props.tasks) &&
      Array.isArray(mockedComponent.find('List').get(1).props.tasks)
    );
  })()
);

The first List component representing the tasks for today should have 2 or more items.

assert(
  (function () {
    const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(ToDo));
    return mockedComponent.find('List').get(0).props.tasks.length >= 2;
  })()
);

The second List component representing the tasks for tomorrow should have 3 or more items.

assert(
  (function () {
    const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(ToDo));
    return mockedComponent.find('List').get(1).props.tasks.length >= 3;
  })()
);

The List component should render the value from the tasks prop in the p tag.

assert(
  (function () {
    const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(ToDo));
    return (
      mockedComponent
        .find('p')
        .get(0)
        .props.children.replace(/\s*,\s*/g, ',') ===
        mockedComponent
          .find('List')
          .get(0)
          .props.tasks.join(',')
          .replace(/\s*,\s*/g, ',') &&
      mockedComponent
        .find('p')
        .get(1)
        .props.children.replace(/\s*,\s*/g, ',') ===
        mockedComponent
          .find('List')
          .get(1)
          .props.tasks.join(',')
          .replace(/\s*,\s*/g, ',')
    );
  })()
);
