I have a parent component, with a child, which also has a child.
Parent |-Child One (child of parent) |-Child Two (child of child)
When a value is defined in child two, I am passing that value using a callback to child one, but I also want to pass the same value back to the parent. Unfortunately using a similar callback seems two throw the error that the identifier has already been declared.
Please see the sandbox to see how exactly I am trying to implement it.
How do I do that?

Answer
Since ChildTwo
component needs to update both its parent ChildOne
and grand-parent App
. This can be done in two ways.
One way is that, you create another state in ChildOne
and pass its state function setValueTwo
along with App
state function valueTwoPass
to ChildTwo
. ChildTwo
now can set values for parent and grand-parent.
Second method is that, you do not create another state in ChildOne
. Since, you need to show same value for both parent and grand-parent component, you can pass state value valueTwo
to ChildOne
like this
<ChildOne valueOnePass={valueOnePass} valueTwoPass={valueTwoPass} valueTwo={valueTwo} />
When ChildTwo
updates the state value of grand-parent App
, valueTwo
also changes in ChildOne
since App
is also passing valueTwo
as its props.
Then just use valueTwo
variable in ChildOne
instead of creating new state and passing to ChildTwo
.
