Passing array from child to parent component

 To pass the assigned_users array from a child component to its parent component, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Create a callback function in the parent component: This function will be responsible for receiving the assigned_users array.

  2. Pass the callback function to the child component as a prop: The child component can then call this function when it wants to send the assigned_users array to the parent.

  3. Call the callback function from the child component: Inside the child component, when you want to send the data to the parent (e.g., after updating assigned_users), you call the callback function with the updated array.


Parent Component

jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import ChildComponent from './ChildComponent';

const ParentComponent = () => {
  const [assignedUsers, setAssignedUsers] = useState([]);

  // Callback function to update the parent state
  const handleAssignedUsersChange = (users) => {
    setAssignedUsers(users);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Assigned Users in Parent: {assignedUsers.length}</h1>
      <ChildComponent onAssignedUsersChange={handleAssignedUsersChange} />
    </div>
  );
};

export default ParentComponent;

Child Component

jsx
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

const ChildComponent = ({ onAssignedUsersChange }) => {
  const [assignedUsers, setAssignedUsers] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    // Whenever assignedUsers changes, send the new value to the parent
    onAssignedUsersChange(assignedUsers);
  }, [assignedUsers, onAssignedUsersChange]);

  const addUser = (user) => {
    setAssignedUsers((prevUsers) => [...prevUsers, user]);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Assigned Users in Child: {assignedUsers.length}</h2>
      <button onClick={() => addUser('User 1')}>Add User 1</button>
      <button onClick={() => addUser('User 2')}>Add User 2</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default ChildComponent;



Explanation:
  1. In the ParentComponent, a function handleAssignedUsersChange is defined, 
    which updates the state assignedUsers when it's called.
  1. This function is passed as a prop onAssignedUsersChange to the ChildComponent.
  2. In the ChildComponent, whenever the assignedUsers state is updated 
(e.g., when a user is added), the useEffect hook ensures that the updated assignedUsers 
is passed to the parent by calling onAssignedUsersChange(assignedUsers).

useCallback hook in React

`useCallback` is a useful hook for optimizing performance in React applications by preventing unnecessary re-creations of functions. However, you should use it wisely, as it can add complexity and may not always offer a performance improvement in every case. ### 1. **What does `useCallback` do?** `useCallback` returns a memoized version of the callback function that only changes if one of the dependencies has changed. It’s primarily used when passing a function as a prop to child components or using it in an effect (like `useEffect`), where unnecessary re-creations of the function can lead to performance problems. ### 2. **Syntax:** ```javascript const memoizedCallback = useCallback(() => {   // Your callback code }, [dependencies]); ``` - The first argument is the function you want to memoize. - The second argument is an array of dependencies (like `useEffect`). The function will only be re-created if any of these dependencies change. ### 3. **When to use `useCallback`?** You shoul
