Explanation of `props` vs. `state` in react.
Raw
react_props_vs_state
"The difference between the two is how they change. `props` can be thought of as the input
from the outside world. It’s set from the parameters your component is called with, and
its values should be treated as immutable. `State`, on the other hand, is the data that’s
owned by your component. You update it via the `setState` method, and no one else should
be changing it on you."
