Child Component

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A component rendered inside another component and treated as part of its composition tree. Child components often receive data, callbacks, or context from parents while still owning their own rendering and local behavior.

    In plain English: A component that is nested inside another component.

    Example: "The parent passed sorting state into the child component so the table header and row list stayed in sync without duplicating logic."
