Study Notes

What is a Class Component in React?

A JavaScript class that extends React.Component

How to Define a Class Component in React

Defined as a reusable JavaScript class
Must include a render method

Required Elements in a React Class Component

A render method to return JSX
A state object initialized in the constructor

Role of the Render Method

Defines what the user sees on the screen in a class component

Role of the This Keyword

Refers to the current instance of the class

Passing Data into a React Class Component

Primary way is through props in JSX

Accessing Props

Using this.props

Purpose of the State Object

Manages dynamic data that changes over time

Missing Render Method Error

If a class component lacks a render method, it will not compile and an error occurs.

Constructor Role

Initializes state and binds methods in a class component

Default state value

If not explicitly initialized, the state defaults to an empty object

Updating State

Use the setState method to update state in a class component

State Existence

Class components can exist without state

Managing State

setState is used to update the state in the component. This triggers re-rendering with the updated state but does it asynchronously. Re-render occurs when there is a state change

Default Props

Define default values for props in class components if not provided

Conditional Rendering

Use ternary operators or logical operators in the return statement to conditionally render elements

Functional Component vs Class Component

Functional Components are a JavaScript function that returns JSX
Class Components are defined as a class that uses the class keyword

JSX (JavaScript XML)

A syntax extension for JavaScript that allows writing HTML-like code in React
Transpiled to standard Javascript

Functional Component Properties

Stateless by nature, doesn't use this keyword

JSX in React

A syntax extension for JavaScript that allows writing HTML-like code in React
Written within Javascript but with HTML-like syntax

Functional components and JSX

Functional components in React can return JSX elements

Accessing Props in Functional Components

Props are passed as arguments to the function

Props in Functional Components

Used to pass data from a parent component to a child component

Conditional Rendering (Functional Components)

Can be done by using a ternary operator or logical operators within the return statement

Default Props in Functional Components

Accepts props using defaultProps

Keys in Lists

Used to track individual items in lists for efficient reconciliation and rendering

List Rendering

Use the map function to render each item individually in React

State Management

State is used for component-specific data updates versus props used to share data from parents to children.

Props vs State

Props are passed down to child components from parent components.
State values are declared within the component's body.

Event Handling

In React, by using the on[eventname] property of a JSX element.

Memoizing in React

useRef to access DOM elements when they are created

State Updates

Calling setState with the same value does not cause a re-render

Event Handlers

React event handlers functions are passed as function without parentheses

`useState` Hook

Manages component state
Returns an array with current state value and a function to update it

`useReducer` Hook

Manages complex state logic with multiple sub-values.
Uses a reducer function that processes actions to update the state.

`useCallback` Hook

Memoizes functions by remembering their return values.
Prevents unnecessary rerenders by only recalculating the function when its dependencies change.

`useMemo` Hook

Memoizes values or objects by only recalculating the value when props or state changes.
Prevents unnecessary rerenders.

`useContext` Hook

Accesses values from a context and updates them without passing props.
Used to share values across components without prop drilling.
