Study Notes
Introduction to ReactJS
- React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces (UIs).
- It's sometimes referred to as a frontend JavaScript framework.
- Developed by Facebook.
- Used to create reusable, nestable UI components.
- Components are fundamental units for building UIs, encompassing everything from simple buttons to complex applications.
- React offers tools for creating, customizing, and conditionally displaying components.
What is React?
- A JavaScript library for creating user interfaces (UIs).
- Provides a structure for building interactive user interfaces.
- Encourages modular architecture, allowing developers to break down a UI into smaller, more manageable components.
- Aims to create fast and responsive web applications, primarily front-end focused.
React Describing UI
- React is used for presenting UI elements on the screen.
- It builds UI components from smaller units, such as buttons, text, and images.
- UI components can be combined, reused, and nested to create complete user experiences.
- Components break down complex interfaces into simpler units.
ReactJS
- JavaScript framework for building web applications.
- Fast response due to its in-browser execution.
- Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is employed to structure the application.
- Components are used to describe the UI elements and how they interact dynamically.
- Promotes efficient programming on large and single-page application projects.
- Features reusability, modularity, testing, and other standard development practices.
How does React Work?
- React uses a virtual DOM (Document Object Model).
- A virtual representation of the actual DOM is created and updated in memory.
- Changes are made to the virtual DOM before applying them to the real DOM.
- React updates only the parts of the DOM that need to change, resulting in greater speed and efficiency.
ReactJS History
- Current version is v18.0.0 (April 2022).
- Initial public release was v0.3.0 in July 2013.
- Initially used in 2011 for Facebook's Newsfeed development.
- Created by Facebook software engineer, Jordan Walke.
-
create-react-appis a tool to create projects, with the latest version being v5.0.1 (April 2022). - This tool includes essential tools like webpack, Babel, and ESLint.

create-react-appcommand is used to build new application projects. - Uninstall the globally installed version of
create-react-appif previously installed.
Run the React Application
- Navigate to the project directory using
cd. - Launch the application using the
npm startcommand. - Application should open in a new browser window at
localhost:3000.
ReactJS Web Application Page
- React and ReactDOM components are imported.
-
Hellofunction that returns the structure for a "Hello World" message. - A container element is obtained from
document.getElementById. - The rendered
Hellocomponent is displayed in the root container.
React JSX
- JSX (JavaScript XML) is a syntax extension for JavaScript to work with HTML elements.
- Write HTML-like code directly within JavaScript.
- Makes writing HTML within React significantly easier.
Example 1 with JSX
- Example code showing basic JSX usage.
Example 2 Without JSX
- Using React's
createElementmethod for a more direct approach to HTML structures within React using JavaScript.
