ComponentWillReceiveProps from child does not receive new props when setState () in parent

I have a parent component in React called "App" that renders a child component "Calories" with a HighCharts implementation.

What I expect is the React lifecycle, the parent component creates the child component and then calls the component componentDidMount (). Then I use fetch to get the async data and after that setState the parent of the user. Then it will re-render the child component with user = {this.state.user} and it will be available in the child component. But when I register this.props in the child component WillReceiveProps, the custom object doesn't exist. So this line in the child component logs is "undefined":

componentWillReceiveProps: function(){
    const series = this.props.series;

    console.log("component Will Receive Props")
    console.log(this.props);
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Here is my complete code:

const App = React.createClass({
//parent component to render all elements and hold state
    getInitialState(){
        return{
            user: {},
            series: [{
                name: 'Jane',
                data: [1, 0, 4]
             }, {
                name: 'John',
                data: [5, 7, 3]
            }]
        };
    },

    componentDidMount: function(){

      const fb_id = location.pathname.replace("/users/","");

      fetch("https://someurl.com/usersdata/" + fb_id)
        .then(rsp => rsp.json())
        .then(json => {
            if(json.error && json.error.message){
                throw new Error(json.error.message);
            } 
            this.setState({user:json}, ()=>{
                console.log("state updated");
                console.log(this.state);
            });
        });

    },

    render: function(){
        return (
            <div className="container">
                <div clasNames="row">
                    <div className="col-xs-12">
                         {/*Send this.state.user data from fetch to child component*/}
                         <Calories series={this.state.series} user={this.state.user}/>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div className="row">
                    <div className="col-xs-7">
                        <div className="bottom-left" id="weight-line-chart">
                            <Weight/>
                         </div>
                    </div>
                    <div className="col-xs-5">
                        <div className="bottom-right" id="avg-calories-pie-chart">
                            <AverageCal/>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
        </div>
        );
    }

});

//Calories Line chart
const Calories = React.createClass({

    componentDidMount: function(){

        const series = this.props.series;

        console.log("component Did Mount");
        console.log(this.props);

        $(function () { 
            const myChart = Highcharts.chart('calories-line-chart', {

            },
            series: series
            });
        });

    },

   render:function(){
       return(
            <div>
                <h3>Calories Intake</h3>
                <div className="top" id="calories-line-chart">

                </div>
           </div>
        );
   }
});

      

        
        
        
      

    

Can anyone please help me on what I am doing wrong?
