Ternary Operator

A shorthand conditional expression that evaluates to one of two values based on a condition. It's like a concise 'if-else' statement.

React State

A special variable that stores data specific to a React component, impacting its behavior and rendering. It's like the component's own memory.

Window Resize Event Listener

A JavaScript event listener that triggers a function whenever the browser window's size changes. Useful for responsive design adjustments.

typeof Operator

A JavaScript method that checks the type of a data element, allowing you to determine if it's a string, number, object, et cetera.

useEffect Hook

A special type of function in React that runs after a component is rendered. It allows you to perform actions like fetching data or setting up event listeners.

Study Notes

Ternary Operator

  • A shortcut for conditional statements
  • condition ? value1 : value2
  • If condition is true, returns value1; otherwise, returns value2

Switch Statement

  • Used for multiple conditional checks
  • switch (expression) evaluates the expression and matches it to the relevant case
  • case labels specify conditions
  • break statement prevents code from continuing to the next case
  • default case handles any unmatched conditions (optional)
  • Useful for handling various states

Event Listener for Window Resize

  • window.addEventListener("resize", function)
  • Executes a function when the browser window is resized
  • window.innerHeight, window.innerWidth get current window dimensions

State in React

  • useState for managing component state
  • State is the component's memory
  • Used for dynamic updates and rendering
  • State updates trigger re-renders

Array Manipulation in State

  • Editing state arrays requires updating the entire array
  • map method creates a new array that reflects changes
    • currentUserState.map() iterates over the current array
    • If currentUser.id === user.id, update the relevant values (name, email)
    • ...currentUser creates a copy (critical), keeping other elements unchanged
    • Important: Assign the updated array to setUser to trigger a re-render

UserDetail Component (with Proptypes)

  • Component for displaying and editing user details
  • user and setUser props are passed down for data interaction
  • useState for managing edit mode (IsEdit) and input values (name,email)
  • useEffect for fetching and updating user data (not in this example)

Fetch API

  • Asynchronous HTTP requests
  • fetch() inititates the request and returns a Promise
  • Promise chains used for handling responses (.then())
  • Can handle errors with .catch()
  • AbortController() and AbortSignal - prevent unnecessary/incomplete requests. Important when unmounting a component
  • Example handling of the JSONPlaceholder API

State Update with setCounter

  • useState for managing a counter
  • setCounter((count) => count += 1) imperative style to update the state by incrementing the current value.
  • useEffect triggered when sync updates. Logs the re-render to the console and updates the document title.

Post Data Example (using Fetch API for POST)

  • fetch for creating POST requests
  • Sending data as JSON to an API endpoint
  • setBlogData sets the new state to clear the form after a submission
  • Correct handling of the response including logging the data received. Also handling possible errors.
