Study Notes

Components

  • Building blocks of a React application
  • Reusable pieces of code that represent a part of the UI
  • Can be either functional or class components
    • Functional components: pure functions that take in props and return JSX
    • Class components: classes that extend the React.Component class

Props

  • Short for "properties"
  • Immutable values passed from a parent component to a child component
  • Used to customize the behavior of a component
  • Can be any type of data (string, number, object, etc.)
  • Passed as an object to the component, with each key-value pair being a prop
  • Example: ``

State

  • An object that stores data that can change within a component
  • Used to store data that is specific to a component and can change over time
  • Initialized in the component's constructor or with a state hook (useState)
  • Can be updated using the setState method or the useState hook
  • When state changes, the component is re-rendered with the new state

Event Handling

  • A way to respond to user interactions (e.g. clicks, hover, keyboard input)
  • In React, event handling is done using event handlers
  • Event handlers are functions that are called when an event occurs
  • Event handlers are passed as props to components
  • Example: console.log("Button clicked!")}&gt;Click me!
  • Synthetic events: React's way of handling events, which provides a consistent interface across different browsers
