AG grid react framwork component cell render doesn't updae props - reactjs

Question

I am building a react functional component with an AgGridReact:
const DataGrid = (props) =>
{
const [gridRowData, setGridRowData] = useState([]);
const [columnDefinition, setColumnDefinition] = useState([]);
useEffect(async () =>
{
if(props.name && props.name !== "")
{
... get grid row data and column definition here according to props.name - working fine
}
},[props.name]);
let frameworkComponents = {
customLoadingOverlay: LoadingOverlayTemplate,
customNoRowsOverlay: UxDataGridCustomNoRows,
editButton: params => <ViewAndDeleteSetting {...params}
openAddConfigurationsWindow={openAddConfigurationsWindow}
onDeleteSetting={onDeleteSetting} />
};
.
.
.
const onDeleteSetting = async () =>
{
console.log("ON DELETE AND NAME IS: " + props.name ); //PRINTS AN EMPTY STRING
...
}
return (
<AgGridReact
columnDefs={columnDefinition}
rowData={gridRowData}
frameworkComponents={frameworkComponents}/>
);
As you can see in the comment in onDeleteSetting, the name is empty when this callback is invoked. The rendering of the cell itself is fine and ViewAndDeleteSetting is indeed rendered, just it seems like it is being rendered only once and not every time the name changes. How can I cause the inner ViewAndDeleteSetting component to be re rendered with the most recent frameworkComponents?

Answer 1

The problem was with how I tried passing props to ViewAndDeleteSetting. If you want to pass prop to a cell rendered component, you shouldn't be doing it in frameworkComponents, but rather you need to do it in the column definition like this:
useEffect(() =>
{
let columns = [{headerName: '', cellRenderer: 'editButton', width: 90, editable: false,
cellRendererParams: {
openAddConfigurationsWindow: openAddConfigurationsWindow,
onDeleteSetting: onDeleteSetting
}},
.. other columns
]
setColumnDefinition(columns);
},[props.name]);
The columns with the cellRendererParams do gets recreated in the useEffect when the name changes, and then the component can access this params regularly via its props
