When should I use props in React?

Props in React are used to pass data from parent components to child components. You should use them when you need to share data or functions.

Can you give me an example of using props?

Sure! If you have a parent component that holds user data, you can pass that data to a child component using props like this: <ChildComponent user={this.state.user} />.

What happens if I don't use props?

If you don't use props, the child component won't receive any data from the parent, which can lead to issues with rendering and functionality.

Are there any alternatives to using props?

Yes, you can use context for global state management or Redux for more complex state management needs, but props are the simplest way to pass data.
