React, useState - Why can not retrieve the state value when passing as (props) but can when passing

Same as title! Why can not retrieve the state value when passing as (props) but can when passing ({props})?

Code example:

import React, { useState } from 'react'

const Header = (props) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{props.text}</h1>
    </div>
  )
}

const Button = (props) => (
  <button onClick={props.handleClick}>
    {props.text}
  </button>
)

const Statistic = props => ( <div><h2>{props.text}</h2></div>)

const Statistics = ({props}) =>{
  const total = props.good   props.neutral   props.bad

  console.log("total", total)

  return(
    <div></div>
  )
}

const App = () => {
  // save clicks of each button to its own state
  const [clicks, setClicks] = useState({
    good: 0, neutral: 0, bad: 0
  })

  const setClickToValue= newValue => {
    setClicks(newValue)
  }



  return (
    <div>
      <Header text="Give feedback" />
      <Button handleClick={ () => setClickToValue(clicks.good   1) } text="Good" />
      <Button handleClick={ () => setClickToValue(clicks.neutral   1) } text="Neutral" />
      <Button handleClick={ () => setClickToValue(clicks.bad   1) } text="Bad" />

      <Statistic text="Statistics" />
      <Statistics props={clicks} />
    </div>
  )
}

export default App

I lost an hour to figure out that passing as ({props}) was the correct way. But I still do not understand whats happening, could someone kindly elaborate?

Thanks folks!

the reason is because you have a prop call props. <Statistics props={clicks} />

so the son component gets this as props

props = {
  props: clicks
}

so when you use it like this

const comp = props => {
  props.good
}

it breaks or so because props only have prop call props

what you have to do is some like

<Statistics {...clicks} />

now at yow Statistics component you'll get them props correct

const Statistics = props => {
  console.log(props) // {good: 0, neutral: 0, bad: 0}

}

Thats because react functional component has default argument called props that is an object. To access the the props object we can access by . or [] notation for eg., props.name and javascript also as functionality called object destruction suppose i have object

let obj = {a:123,b:1243}
// i can directly access the object property by destructuring
 let {a} = obj;
 console.log(a)
//output 123

take look at destructuring --->
