When should I use state instead of props in React?

When should I use state instead of props in React?

You should use state when you need to manage data that can change over time, while props are for passing data to components.

Can you give me an example of when to use state?

Sure! If you have a form input that updates as the user types, you would use state to keep track of the input value.

What about props? When are they more appropriate?

Props are ideal for passing static data or functions from a parent component to a child component, like configuration settings.

Is it possible to use both state and props in the same component?

Absolutely! Many components use both state for internal data management and props for receiving data from parent components.
