"ROADMAP OF
REACTJS"
@vaibhavsaini
Lesson 1: Introduction to React.js
What is React.js?
React.js is an open-source JavaScript library maintained by Facebook for
building user interfaces or UI components.
Key Concepts:
1. Components: React organizes UI into reusable components. Each component
represents a part of the UI, such as buttons, forms, or entire sections
of a webpage.
2. Virtual DOM: React uses a Virtual DOM to efficiently update and render
changes to the actual DOM, reducing performance bottlenecks.
Lesson 2: Setting Up React
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript."If you don't have any
knowledge about this I recommend https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/html/?
ref=ghm ,https://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp for
HTML,https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/css/
,https://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp for
CSS,https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/javascript/?ref=ghm
,https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp for JavaScript but if you
have basic knowledge of these topics then I highly recommend
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/"
Installation:
1. Node.js: Install Node.js, which includes npm (Node Package Manager),
from the official website.
2. Create React App: Use npx create-react-app my-app to create a new React
application.
Running the App:
d
1. cd my-app
2. npm start to run the development server.
Lesson 3: Understanding Components
Creating a Component:
In the src folder, create a new JavaScript file, e.g., MyComponent.js.
Import React and create a component using the function or class syntax.
Rendering a Component:
Use the ReactDOM.render() function to render your component in the
public/index.html file.
Lesson 4: Props and State
Props (Properties):
Props are used for passing data from parent to child components.
They are immutable (read-only) within the child component.
State:
State represents the internal data of a component that can change over
time.
Use useState hook or the this.state object in class components to
manage state.
Lesson 5: Handling Events
Event Handling:
Use event handlers like onClick to capture user interactions.
Create functions to handle events and update component state
accordingly.
Lesson 6: Conditional Rendering
Conditional Rendering:
Use if statements or ternary operators to conditionally render
components or elements based on state or props.
Lesson 7: Lists and Keys
Mapping Lists:
Use .map() to iterate over an array and render a list of items.
Keys:
Assign a unique key to each item in the list to help React efficiently
update the DOM.
Lesson 8: Styling in React
Styling:
Apply CSS styles using inline styles, CSS modules, or popular CSS-in-JS
libraries.
Lesson 9: Forms and Controlled Components
