How to pass arguments to functions in another file?

I have this file Foo.js:

const Foo= ({ someArg }) => {
  alert(someArg);
};

export default Foo;

I am calling it from App.js:

function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    Foo("text");
  }, []);
...

The function gets called, but the alert shows undefined instead of the actual value that was passed. How do I properly pass arguments to a function in another file?

CodePudding user response：

Problem is you are destructuring a string which doesn't have a property called someArg. That's why undefined is displayed.

Correct Way:

const Foo= (someArg) => { // No destructuring
  alert(someArg);
};

export default Foo;

function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    Foo("text"); // You are passing a string
}, []);

const Foo= ({ someArg }) => { // Doing destructuring
  alert(someArg);
};

export default Foo;

function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    Foo({someArg: "text"}); // You are passing an object
}, []);
