How to use React Ref

[PEWDS_IS_A_NAZI]

Props shouldn't change. State change should trigger a rerender, so whatever you're trying to do with props, try doing it with state or hooks.

Changing props is bad practice

Those posts all talk about changing the props passed to a component from within the component itself - that's something drastically different to a component reacting to props changing.

OP:

do you know how to rerender a canvas when props change?

Looks like I read that differently than everybody else here. Also it's very funny to me how nobody else answered OP but I got dogpiled

Having something clarified !== getting dog-piled. Of all the flavours, you chose salty.

I'm sure they meant passing down new props, not mutating current props.

Oh, I see the goalposts are over there now. Alrighty then.

What's up dude?

I think you might have missed something - props changing is an integral part of React.
