I am declaring a component inside of a parent component. I want to establish specific props in one file, and then in the parent component, I want to be able to establish the oth
You can use a conditional render statement to only render the child when the props are populated:
let {foo, bar} = this.props;
<ParentComponent>
{ foo && bar ? <ChildComponent foo={foo} bar={bar} /> : null }
</ParentComponent>
Or instead of null
you could render a <LoadingSpinner />
or something.
