Study Notes

React Fundamentals

React updates the user interface by comparing the virtual DOM with the real DOM and only updating the parts that have changed.

Virtual DOM

The purpose of the virtual DOM is to optimize rendering by allowing React to compare the virtual DOM with the real DOM and only update the parts that have changed.

React in Production

To use React in production, a bundler like Webpack or Rollup and a compiler like Babel are required.

Creating a React App

To generate a basic React app template, you need to install create-react-app.
The command to install create-react-app is npx create-react-app my-app (replace "my-app" with your app's name).
When you use create-react-app to generate a new React app, a folder with the same name as your app will be created.

Running a React App

To start a React app on your local machine, run the command npm start in your terminal.
Your React app will be accessible at <a href="http://localhost:3000">http://localhost:3000</a>.
