Props:表示“只读”数据，是不可变的，引用父组件的属性。

状态:表示可变数据，它最终会影响页面上呈现的内容，并由组件本身内部管理，通常会由于用户输入而不断更改。

一般来说，一个组件(父组件)的状态是子组件的prop。

State resides within a component where as props are passed from parent to child. Props are generally immutable. class Parent extends React.Component { constructor() { super(); this.state = { name : "John", } } render() { return ( <Child name={this.state.name}> ) } } class Child extends React.Component { constructor() { super(); } render() { return( {this.props.name} ) } }

在上面的代码中，我们有一个父类(parent)，它的状态是name，它被传递给子组件(子类)作为道具，子组件使用{this.props.name}渲染它。

基本上，区别在于状态类似于OOP中的属性:它是类(组件)的局部属性，用于更好地描述它。道具就像参数一样——它们从组件的调用者(父组件)传递给组件:就像你调用一个带有特定参数的函数一样。

道具和状态之间的关键区别在于，状态是内部的，由组件本身控制，而道具是外部的，由呈现组件的任何东西控制。

React组件使用state来读取/写入内部变量，这些变量可以通过以下方式更改/突变:

this.setState({name: 'Lila'})

React props是一个特殊的对象，允许程序员从父组件中获取变量和方法到子组件中。

它有点像房子的门窗。道具也是不可变的子组件不能改变/更新他们。

当父组件更改道具时，有几个方法可以帮助监听。

Basically, props and state are two ways the component can know what and how to render. Which part of the application state belongs to state and which to some top-level store, is more related to your app design, than to how React works. The simplest way to decide, IMO, is to think, whether this particular piece of data is useful for application as a whole, or it's some local information. Also, it's important to not duplicate state, so if some piece of data can be calculated from props - it should calculated from props.

For example, let's say you have some dropdown control (which wraps standart HTML select for custom styling), which can a) select some value from list, and b) be opened or closed (i.e., the options list displayed or hidden). Now, let's say your app displays a list of items of some sort and your dropdown controls filter for list entries. Then, it would be best to pass active filter value as a prop, and keep opened/closed state local. Also, to make it functional, you would pass an onChange handler from parent component, which would be called inside dropdown element and send updated information (new selected filter) to the store immediately. On the other hand, opened/closed state can be kept inside dropdown component, because the rest of the application doesn't really care if the control is opened, until user actually changes it value.

下面的代码是不完全工作，它需要css和处理下拉单击/模糊/改变事件，但我想保持示例最小。希望这有助于理解其中的区别。

const _store = {
    items: [
    { id: 1, label: 'One' },
    { id: 2, label: 'Two' },
    { id: 3, label: 'Three', new: true },
    { id: 4, label: 'Four', new: true },
    { id: 5, label: 'Five', important: true },
    { id: 6, label: 'Six' },
    { id: 7, label: 'Seven', important: true },
    ],
  activeFilter: 'important',
  possibleFilters: [
    { key: 'all', label: 'All' },
    { key: 'new', label: 'New' },
    { key: 'important', label: 'Important' }
  ]
}

function getFilteredItems(items, filter) {
    switch (filter) {
    case 'all':
        return items;

    case 'new':
        return items.filter(function(item) { return Boolean(item.new); });

    case 'important':
        return items.filter(function(item) { return Boolean(item.important); });

    default:
