sibling components re-rendering

[hazy nacelle]

I have an upload comment component and a component to display comments that are both child components inside my page.jsx file once the user uploads a comment successfully I would like to have my display comments component re-render. Is there any way to do this?

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, in general, sibling components in React (and by extension, Next.js) can be re-rendered by lifting the state up to their common parent component. When the state in the parent component changes, it triggers a re-render of the child components.

In your case, you could potentially manage the comments state in the parent page.jsx file. When a new comment is uploaded, update the state in the parent component, which should trigger a re-render of the display comments component.

For more information on state and lifecycle in React, you can refer to the React documentation (https://reactjs.org/docs/state-and-lifecycle.html). For more specific information on how this works in Next.js, you might find the Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages) helpful.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
