I am passing the state of the parent component from the parent component to the child component.And in the child component,I have a different state.I am performing some actions on the child component's state and the result of that has to be added to the parent component's state.So,in my parent component I have written a callback function which will update the state of the parent component.The code is:
updateState = (booksList) => {
this.setState({books : this.state.books.push(booksList)});
}
So,this function is then passed to the child component as props:
<BookSearch
books={this.state.books}
handleShelfChange={this.handleShelfChange}
updateState={this.updateState}/>
Then in my child component,I am trying to implement the callback function as :
let getBook = this.state.books.filter(filteredBook => filteredBook.shelf !== "none")
this.props.updateState(getBook)
But this is not working as expected.Is this the correct way?Can anyone please help me with this?
I have tried to solve my problem by implementing the solution provided here : How to pass data from child component to its parent in ReactJS? , but I am getting some errors.

So, I have 4 components as shown above.From App component,I am calling BookSearch component where I can search for books and send the books to App component by selecting the value in dropdown. Each book in BookSearch component will initially be assigned a shelf property of "none".When a user selects a shelf value from Booksearch,the book will automatically be added to the App component.So,when I navigate back to the App component from BookSearch,I should be able to see the book in the assigned shelf.So,for this case,I am using the updateSearch function. The books are displayed through the Book component which has the dropdown value.
