React prop function undefined

I have an element that has an onClick prop, and then another element which calls this prop, and does some other operations.

Here is the code:

DashboardSidebar:

class DashboardSidebar extends Component{
constructor(props){
    super(props);

    this.expandOption = this.expandOption.bind(this);
}

expandOption(id){
   ...
}

render(){
    return(
        <div className="DashboardSidebar">
            ...
            <DSidebarOption onClick={this.expandOption("dashboard")} id="dashboard" text="Dashboard" />
            ...
        </div>
    );
}
}

DSidebarOption:

class DSidebarOption extends Component{
constructor(props){
    super(props);

    this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
}

handleClick(){
    ...
    this.props.onClick();
    ...
}


render(){
    return(
        <div className="DSidebarOptionContainer">
            ...
            <div onClick={this.handleClick} className="DSidebarOption">
                {this.props.text}
            </div>
            ...
        </div>
    )
}
}

I am getting the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: this.props.onClick is not a function

Any ideas why this might be happening?

You should pass ur onclick like this

onClick={() => {this.expandOption("dashboard")}}

otherwise it gets called when the page mounts
