Getting Started with React JS

Getting Started with React JS

React JS is a popular front-end JavaScript library that allows developers to build dynamic and interactive user interfaces. If you're new to React JS, here's a quick guide to help you get started.

First, you'll need to set up your development environment. You can install Node.js and npm on your computer if you don't already have them. Then, you can use npm to create a new React app by running the following command in your terminal:

lua

Copy code

npx create-react-app my-app

This will create a new folder called "my-app" with all the files and dependencies you need to get started with React JS.

Next, you can open the "my-app" folder in your code editor and start writing your React code. React uses a component-based architecture, which means you'll build your user interface by creating reusable components.

Here's an example of a simple React component that renders a button:

javascript

Copy code

import React from 'react';

function Button(props) {

  return <button>{props.label}</button>;

}

export default Button;

In this example, we've defined a new function called "Button" that takes a single prop called "label". This function returns a <button> element with the label passed in as its content. We've also exported this component so that we can use it in other parts of our app.

To use this component in your app, you can import it and include it in another component's render method:

javascript

Copy code

import React from 'react';

import Button from './Button';

function App() {

  return (

    <div>

      <Button label="Click me" />

    </div>

  );

}

export default App;

In this example, we've imported our "Button" component and included it in the render method of our main app component.
