    Study Notes

    Components

    • Functional Components: JavaScript functions that take in props and return JSX elements.
      • Example: const Greeting = (props) =&gt; Hello, {props.name}!;
      • Can be used with React Hooks to manage state and side effects.
    • Class Components: JavaScript classes that extend the React.Component class.
      • Example: class Greeting extends React.Component { render() { return Hello, {this.props.name}!; } }
      • Can have state and lifecycle methods.
    • Component Lifecycle: Methods that are called at different points during a component's life cycle.
      • Examples: componentDidMount(), componentDidUpdate(), componentWillUnmount()
    • Props: Immutable values passed from a parent component to a child component.
      • Can be used to customize the behavior of a component.
      • Example: ``

    JSX

    • JSX Syntax: A syntax extension for JavaScript that allows you to write HTML-like code in your JavaScript files.
      • Example: const element = Hello, World!;
    • JSX Elements: The building blocks of JSX, which can be used to create React components.
      • Example: <div>, <p>, ``
    • JSX Attributes: Used to add properties to JSX elements.
      • Example: <a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example</a>
    • JSX Expressions: JavaScript expressions that can be embedded inside JSX elements.
      • Example: </p>Hello, {name}!
    • JSX and JavaScript: JSX can be used to generate JavaScript code that creates React elements.
      • Example: const element = Hello, World!; compiles to const element = React.createElement("h1", null, "Hello, World!");

    React Components

    • Functional Components are JavaScript functions that take in props and return JSX elements.
    • They can be used with React Hooks to manage state and side effects.
    • Example: const Greeting = (props) =&gt; Hello, {props.name}!;

    Class Components

    • Class Components are JavaScript classes that extend the React.Component class.
    • They can have state and lifecycle methods.
    • Example: class Greeting extends React.Component { render() { return Hello, {this.props.name}!; } }

    Component Lifecycle

    • Component Lifecycle refers to the methods that are called at different points during a component's life cycle.
    • Examples of lifecycle methods include componentDidMount(), componentDidUpdate(), and componentWillUnmount().

    Props

    • Props are immutable values passed from a parent component to a child component.
    • They can be used to customize the behavior of a component.
    • Example:

    JSX

    JSX Syntax

    • JSX Syntax is a syntax extension for JavaScript that allows you to write HTML-like code in your JavaScript files.
    • Example: const element = Hello, World!;

    JSX Elements

    • JSX Elements are the building blocks of JSX, which can be used to create React components.
    • Examples: , , ``

    JSX Attributes

    • JSX Attributes are used to add properties to JSX elements.
    • Example: Visit Example

    JSX Expressions

    • JSX Expressions are JavaScript expressions that can be embedded inside JSX elements.
    • Example: Hello, {name}!

    JSX and JavaScript

    • JSX can be used to generate JavaScript code that creates React elements.
    • Example: const element = Hello, World!; compiles to const element = React.createElement("h1", null, "Hello, World!");
