Re-explain

Props:

  • Data passed from parent component
  • Read-only (should not be mutated)
  • External data source
  • Validated by Vue
    Data:
  • Component's internal state
  • Mutable and reactive
  • Local to the component
  • Initialized in data() function
export default {
  props: ['message'],        // From parent
  data() {
    return {
      localMessage: ''       // Component's own data
    }
  }
}
