Summary: TLDR even more docs changes So I created a More Resources doc that aggregates the high-quality-but-off-site stuff. Let's try to put more outlinks there. Also I removed the stuff on Support that was not support, and some misc changes to clean stuff up.

Components are the building blocks for a React Native application. A React Native user interface (UI) is specified by declaring components, often nested. Those components are then mapped to the native UI on the targeted platform.
|
|
|
|
####Props####
|
|
|
|
#####`this.props`#####
|
|
|
|
Components can be configured by passing properties `props` to the constructor. You can access `props` from your component's methods by accessing `this.props`. You should not alter your props within component methods.
|
|
|
|
####State####
|
|
|
|
#####`this.state`#####
|
|
|
|
Components maintain their state using the state object. You can access your component state via `this.state`. Each component should manage its own state. Parent components should not manage children state and children components should not manage parent component state.
|
|
|
|
#####`this.setState({key: value, ...})`#####
|
|
|
|
To update or change the state of your component passing a new object representing your newly desired state to `this.setState(obj)`. The specificed keys will be merged into `this.state`. Any existing keys will be overridden by new values.
