React Fundamentals

Introduction to React

React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It was first introduced by Facebook in 2011 and has since gained a lot of popularity among developers. React allows developers to build reusable UI components and manage their state in a declarative way. In other words, React helps developers to build a dynamic and interactive user interface quickly and efficiently.

To get started with React, you need to have a basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. React uses a syntax extension called JSX, which allows developers to write HTML-like syntax in JavaScript code. JSX makes it easier to write and read code, and it allows developers to build components more efficiently.

In order to use React in your project, you need to have Node.js and npm installed on your computer. You can install React by running the command 'npm install react' in your terminal. Once React is installed, you can start building your first React component.

Here is an example of a simple React component:

import React from 'react';

function Welcome(props) {
  return <h1>Hello, {props.name}!</h1>;
}

export default Welcome;

This component takes a prop called name and renders a greeting message with the value of the name prop. React components can be composed together to build more complex UI components.
