I thrive on solving complex problems and am always eager to embrace new challenges. Whether it's building robust WordPress plugins or dynamic React applications, I bring a blend of creativity and technical expertise to every project.
Hi guys!! Welcome back to a new article. Today I am going to talk about the React In this article, I will talk about 10 topics of React that will help you to understand what is react and how it works. So that you can decide whether you wanna go ahead with react or not. Okay, let’s dive into the main topic without wasting any further time.
What is React
First of all, We are going to discuss what React is exactly.
React is a JavaScript framework that will help you to create a beautifully modern and lightweight user interface. it’s one of the most popular front-end frameworks right now, which is being used by a lot of big companies like Facebook and Netflix.
Difference Between Library and Framework
The library has some roles. if you want to use a library you must have to follow them. If you break any of them then your codes will not work. But the framework is different. You can code the way you want. This is the simplest explanation of what is the difference between library and framework.
Why React is Best
There’s a lot of reason why react is best to use for your project. Here I am going to tell you some of the main reasons for it. React is super powerful and very fast as well. You can apply all the knowledge of vanilla javascript here. Also, it’s being used by the world’s most popular companies like Facebook and Netflix. that's why React has a very big and rich developer community. So if you face any issue while working with react, you don't have to suffer from that for too long. You will find a bunch of solutions to that problem on the internet just by one single search.
React Virtual DOM
DOM stands for “Document Object Model”. The DOM in simple words represents the UI of your application. The virtual DOM is only a virtual representation of the DOM. Every time the state of our application changes, the virtual DOM gets updated instead of the real DOM.
How React Works
How does React works? it’s very easy to understand. React is a JavaScript framework that creates user interfaces in a predictable and efficient way using declarative code. You can use it to help build single-page applications and mobile apps, or to build complex apps if you utilize it with other libraries.
React Components
Essentially, components are reusable UIs that allow you to split the app into separate blocks that act independently of each other. Components accept an arbitrary input with data (a prop) and return a React element to declare what should appear on the screen. They can interact with other components via props to create a complex UI.
React useState Hook
useState()
``` is a Hook that allows you to have state variables in functional components. You pass the initial state to this function and it returns a variable with the current state value (not necessarily the initial state) and another function to update this value.
### **What is JSX**
JSX is noting but writing JavaScript and HTML tother without any problem. It makes your coding life way easier and helps you a lot more to create better UIs.
