How do I set a state in a child component?

Let's say I have a component.

Inside that component I am calling a child component.

That child component has a state, which I would want to set from the parent component.

Component

// component
// ...

setState( 1 );

<ChildComponent ???setStateFunc={setState}???> // This setState should point to the child function

setState( 2 );

// ...
// end component

Child component

// child component
// ...

const [state, setState] = useState(null);

// ...
// end child component

How do I do that?

If you want your Parent Component State should update from Child Component, handle your states like this:

Add this to your Parent Component File:

this.state = {
    value: 0
}
...

changeHandler = (e) => {
   this.setState({value: e})
}

...

//Pass this function like this 
<ChildComponent value={{this.state.value}} setValue={(e) => changeHandler(e)}>

And manage your setValue by setting any value from your Child Component file, like:

...

//For example if you're using TextInput component
<TextInput 
    value={this.props.value}
    onChangeText={this.props.setValue}
/>
...

Hope this works for you.
