REACT JS is a powerful and open-source JavaScript library for building
user interfaces (UIs), particularly for single-page applications. It was created by Facebook and is
widely used for front-end web development.
Key features of REACT are as Follows:
Component-Based Architecture Declarative Programming Virtual DOM JSX Hooks
Component-Based Architecture:
React promotes
building UIs using reusable, self-contained components. This modularity simplifies development,
improves maintainability, and makes it easier to manage complex applications.
React utilizes a Virtual DOM, which is a lightweight copy of the actual DOM. It efficiently updates and renders only the necessary components when data changes, leading to faster performance and a smoother user experience.
React's declarative nature allows developers to describe how the UI should look, and React handles the rendering and updates, simplifying UI development and making code more predictable.
JSX (JavaScript XML) allows developers to write HTML-like syntax within JavaScript code. This combines UI structure and logic, making components easier to understand and build.
React's modular structure and Virtual DOM contribute to its flexibility and high performance, enabling the creation of responsive and scalable web applications.
React boasts a large and active developer community, providing
extensive resources, libraries, tools, and support for developers.
React offers powerful
developer tools that aid in debugging and inspecting component hierarchies and state, accelerating
the development process.
npx create-react-app
for creating simple react app
npx create-vite@latest
for vite app
cd
for entering the correct path folder
npm run dev
for live preview of the app
npm run build
for building apps for deploying on server
Node Package Manager
Used to install, manage, and run packages (libraries or tools).
Node Package eXecute
Used to run packages without installing them globally.
Creates apps using react is very common we just open the terminal of vs code the put this command npx create-react-app or using vite bundular u can use npx create-vite@latest to create an app.
