This is my Counter.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

class Counter extends Component {
  render(){

    return(
      <table className="counter">
        <tbody>
          <tr>
            <td>Attending:</td>
            <td>{this.props.numberAttending}</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>Unconfirmed:</td>
            <td>{this.props.numberUnconfirmed}</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>Total:</td>
            <td>{this.props.totalInvited}</td>
          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>
    );
    }
  }

  Counter.propTypes = {
    numberAttending: PropTypes.number,
    numberUnconfirmed: PropTypes.number,
    totalInvited: PropTypes.number
  };

export default Counter;

There are no errors , the page is displayed in the browser only the value of "Total" in Counter.js is not displayed , i guess there's some problem while passing data in Counter.js from App.js but i can't find the problem.

.. in your table data you have .. "<td>{this.props.totalInvited}</td>" I believe you should remove the "this." in front of the rest ... I had a similar problem, although it was just a misspelling after props.

Omg! I just came across the same problem just now!! The problem for me was the fact that I added an extra curly braces, {}, while Guil did not.

I was missing the 'RETURN' keyword!

getTotalinvited = () => { return ....... }

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39629962/arrow-function-without-curly-braces I linked where I found the problem and hope this helps!

I was having the same problem. And there was no error in console, either. And I changed the prop name in app.js which is totalInvited={totalInvited} to numberTotalInvited={totalInvited} , and it works. I am guessing that because of Teacher Guil had set the prop name to numberTotalInvited in Counter.js so that would be make sense if there is same prop name in app.js.
