When you're building your React components, you'll probably want to access child properties of the markup.

 

Parent can read its children by accessing the special this.props.children prop.this.props.children is an opaque data structure: use the  to manipulate them.

 

this.props.children undefined

You can't access the children of your component through this.props.children.this.props.children designates the children being passed onto you by the owner.

 

Type of the Children props

Usually, a component's children (this.props.children) is an array of components. However, when there is only a single child, this.props.children will be the single child component itself without the array wrapper. This saves an array allocation.

 

 

App has two children BButton and BHeart, all thoes chilren come thought from {this.props.children}.

 

If you don't have {this.props.children}:

var BButton = React.createClass({       render: function() {           return (             No passed in!           );       }    });

We end up with this: 

 

[Notice:] Just remeber when give class to the render elements, we need to use 'className' not 'class'.
