Questions and Answers

What must be true about the keys assigned to elements in a list?

  • Keys should be distinct among siblings within the same list. (correct)
  • Keys can be numeric values only.
  • Keys should be the same for all items in a list.
  • Keys must be globally unique across all components.

    • What is a major issue with using array indexes as keys in React?

  • Indexes are not strings and cannot be used as keys.
  • Reordering items can result in misleading component updates. (correct)
  • Indexes are not allowed as keys in any component.
  • Using indexes leads to performance issues.

    • How does the method of assigning keys to components compare to props in React?

  • Keys can be accessed like props from within the component.
  • Keys are assigned in the same manner as props, but are internal and inaccessible. (correct)
  • Both keys and props must be unique across the entire application.
  • Keys are universal identifiers, while props are local to components.

    Study Notes

    Connecting to MySQL with Node.js

    • Define the name of the database in the mysql.createConnection object.
    • Use the con.connect method to establish a connection to the database.
    • The con.query method is used to execute SQL queries on the database.

    Creating Tables

    • Use the CREATE TABLE statement to create a new table in the database.
    • Specify the table name and define the columns with their data types.
    • Include primary key column for unique identification.

    Primary Key

    • Primary key is a unique key for each record in the table.
    • Use INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY for primary key column that automatically increments for each new record.

    Node.js Events

    • Events represent actions on a computer, like connection establishment or file opening.
    • Node.js objects, such as readStream, can fire events during operations.
    • The Events module provides methods for creating, firing, and listening to custom events.

    Keys in React

    • Keys are used to uniquely identify elements in a list within a React component.
    • Keys help React track changes and efficiently update the virtual DOM.
    • Keys should be consistent and unique within a list, but not necessarily globally unique.

    Lifecycle of React Components

    • React components have a lifecycle with three main phases: mounting, updating, and unmounting.
    • Each phase has specific methods that get called during the component's lifecycle.

    Mounting

    • Mounting refers to adding elements to the DOM (Document Object Model).
    • The following methods are called during the mounting phase:
      • constructor(): Initializes the component's state and other initial values.
      • getDerivedStateFromProps(): Sets the component's state based on the initial props before rendering.
      • render(): Renders the component to the DOM.
      • componentDidMount(): Executes after the component is added to the DOM.

    Updating

    • Updating occurs when the component's state or props change, requiring the component to re-render.
    • The following methods are called during the updating phase:
      • getDerivedStateFromProps(): Updates the component's state based on changes to props before rerendering.
      • render(): Rerenders the component to reflect the updates.
      • componentDidUpdate(): Executes after the component is updated in the DOM.

    Unmounting

    • Unmounting occurs when a component is removed from the DOM.
    • The componentWillUnmount() method is called before the component is removed.

    Hooks

    • Hooks enable you to use React features like state and lifecycle methods within functional components.
    • Two main rules for hooks:
      • Only call hooks at the top level of a React function.
      • Only call hooks from React functions.

    useState() Hook

    • useState() hook provides state management within functional components.
    • It returns an array containing the current state value and a function to update the state.

    Express (Node.js Framework)

    • Express is a popular web framework for Node.js that enables creating web applications.
    • Use app.get('/hello') to handle GET requests for the /hello route.
    • Use app.post('/hello') to handle POST requests for the /hello route.
    • The app.all('/test') method manages any HTTP method for the /test route.
    • Use Express Router (express.Router) to separate route definitions into separate files for better organization.

    Middleware in Express

    • Middleware functions are executed before the request is sent to the route handler.
    • Middleware can modify the request or response object or perform authentication or authorization.
    • Middleware can be defined using app.use() for specific routes or globally for the application.
    • Middleware can help with error handling, logging, and authentication.
