React is a JavaScript library used for building user interfaces, particularly single-page applications. This bootcamp will cover the basic aspects of React including components, props, state, and lifecycle methods, and will provide examples to illustrate these concepts.
React allows developers to build web applications that can update and render efficiently in response to data changes. It was developed by Facebook and is maintained by Facebook and a community of individual developers and companies.
// Example of a simple React element
const element = Hello, world!;
Components are the building blocks of a React application. They let you split the UI into independent, reusable pieces.
// Functional component
function Welcome(props) {
return Hello, {props.name};
}
// Class component
class Welcome extends React.Component {
render() {
return Hello, {this.props.name};
}
}
Props are arguments passed into React components. Props are passed to components via HTML attributes.
// Example of using props
function Welcome(props) {
return Hello, {props.name};
}
const element = <Welcome name="Sara" />;
State is a feature available to class-based components (and functional components via hooks) that allows local storage of variable data in a component.
// Example of state in a class component
class Counter extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {count: 0};
}
render() {
return {this.state.count};
}
}
Lifecycle methods are special methods in class components that allow you to run code at particular times in the component’s life cycle.
// Example of a lifecycle method
class App extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
console.log('Component Did Mount');
}
render() {
return Hello, World!;
}
}
Hooks are functions that let you use state and other React features in functional components.
// Example of useState hook
import React, { useState } from 'react';
function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<div>
<p>You clicked {count} times</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
Click me
</button>
</div>
);
}
The Context API provides a way to share values between components without having to explicitly pass a prop through every level of the tree.
// Context API example
const ThemeContext = React.createContext('light');
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<ThemeContext.Provider value="dark">
<Toolbar />
</ThemeContext.Provider>
);
}
}
function Toolbar() {
return (
<div>
<ThemedButton />
</div>
);
}
class ThemedButton extends React.Component {
static contextType = ThemeContext;
render() {
return <Button theme={this.context} />;
}
}
Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps. It helps you write applications that behave consistently and are easy to test.
// Example of a simple Redux implementation
import { createStore } from 'redux';
function counterReducer(state = { value: 0 }, action) {
switch (action.type) {
case 'counter/incremented':
return { value: state.value + 1 }
default:
return state
}
}
let store = createStore(counterReducer);
store.dispatch({ type: 'counter/incremented' });
console.log(store.getState());
Let’s build a simple React app that will utilize some of the basic and advanced concepts we’ve covered. We will create a simple counter application, incorporating components, state, props, hooks, and context API.
// 1. Importing necessary libraries and modules
import React, { useState, createContext, useContext } from 'react';
// 2. Creating a Context for theme
const ThemeContext = createContext();
// 3. Creating a functional component for the Counter
function Counter() {
// 4. Using useState hook for maintaining local state
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
const theme = useContext(ThemeContext);
return (
<div style={{ background: theme.background, color: theme.color }}>
<p>You clicked {count} times</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
Increment
</button>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count - 1)}>
Decrement
</button>
</div>
);
}
// 5. Creating the main App component
function App() {
// 6. Creating a theme object
const theme = {
background: 'lightgray',
color: 'black',
};
return (
// 7. Providing the theme to its children components
<ThemeContext.Provider value={theme}>
<Counter />
</ThemeContext.Provider>
);
}
// 8. Exporting the App component as default
export default App;
React is a versatile and powerful library that enables the development of interactive UIs with ease. It provides various concepts like components, state, lifecycle methods, and hooks to manage the UI and handle the data effectively. Advanced concepts like Context API and integrating libraries like Redux help in managing state across components and making the app more predictable and easier to test. This React bootcamp provided an overview and examples of the essential React concepts. While this overview touches on several core aspects of React, it’s important to delve deeper into each of these topics, experimenting with code, building applications, and learning from the extensive resources available online to gain proficiency in using React.
