The Component Tree — State, Data Flow, and the Color Organizer

Scattering state across many components creates synchronization bugs that are nearly impossible to track down. After this lesson you can design a component tree where state lives at the correct level, pass data down via props, lift events back up via callback props, and build the first version of the Color Organizer app where adding, rating, and removing colors all work from a single root state.
