[unepod]

Hello, and thanks for this awesome resource.
Not sure it’s the right thread, I want to signal that for this lesson:
“Review Using Props with Stateless Functional Components”
the suggested solution :

freeCodeCamp Challenge Guide: Review Using Props with Stateless Functional Components

Review Using Props with Stateless Functional Components Hints Hint 1 A functional(a.k.a. stateless) component is just a plain javascript function which takes props as an argument and returns a react element.

Welcome there,

Thank you, for taking the time to discuss this. I just want to link to relevant past discussion around outdated topics:

• Help React bind/this "create-a-controlled-input" challenge - #5 by Sky020
• Should I do the Front End Libraries?

The Long and Short

• The current curriculum version is old, but the next version (7.0) is being worked on.
• In web development, it usually takes hardly any time for a well-covered topic/tool to be outdated, but the knowledge is not useless.
• We are not updating the current curriculum lessons past bug fixes, because there is little bandwidth to do so, and even less benefit.

Hope this helps
