What is ReactJS?

ReactJS is a JavaScript library developed by Facebook for building user interfaces,


especially single-page applications (SPAs). It enables developers to build reusable UI
components that update efficiently in response to data changes.

2. ReactJS Ecosystem

The React ecosystem includes tools, libraries, and patterns that work alongside React to
enhance development:

Tool/Library Purpose

React Router Client-side routing (navigation)

Redux State management

Vite/CRA/Next.js Build tools and project scaffolding

Axios/Fetch API calls

Jest/React Testing Library Testing utilities

TailwindCSS/Styled-Component Styling solutions

2.​ Go to the project folder:

cd my-app

3.​ Install dependencies:

npm install

4.​ Run the development server:

npm run dev

5.​ Open in browser:​


Go to http://localhost:5173 to see your React app running.
🔁 Summary
●​ ReactJS is a UI library with a large supporting ecosystem.
●​ Core concepts include components, props, state, and hooks.
●​ Vite is a fast, modern alternative to CRA for bootstrapping React apps.
●​ The React ecosystem includes routing (React Router), state management
(Redux/Zustand), testing tools, and styling libraries
