React.js is a popular JavaScript - library for building user interfaces (UIs), and it's commonly used in website development. Here's a step-by-step overview of how to get started with React.js website development:
1. Set Up Your Development Environment:
- Install Node.js: React.js requires Node.js, so make sure you have it installed on your computer. You can download it from the official websitehttps://skardtech.com/
2. Create a New React Application:
- React provides a command-line tool called Create React App (CRA) to set up a new React project. To create a new project, open your terminal and run the following command:
- Replace my-website with your desired project name.
3. Folder Structure:
- CRA will create a folder structure with all the necessary files and dependencies to start your React application. You'll find your components in the src directory.
4. Development Server:
- You can start a development server by navigating to your project folder in the terminal and running:
- This will launch a development server, and your React app will be available at https://skardtech.com/
5. Components:
- React applications are built using components. Create your components in the src directory. A typical React component might look like this:
6. JSX:
- React uses JSX (JavaScript XML) to define the structure of your UI. It allows you to write HTML-like code in your JavaScript files. JSX gets transpiled to JavaScript by tools like Babel.
7. State and Props:
- React components can have state (data that can change) and props (properties passed to components). Managing state and props is essential for building dynamic applications.
8. Styling:
- You can style your React components using CSS, Sass, or any other CSS-in-JS solution. Consider using CSS modules for scoped styling.
9. Routing:
- For multi-page applications, you can use React Router to handle routing and navigation within your app.
10. API Integration: - To fetch data from an API, you can use JavaScript's Fetch API or libraries like Axios. You typically make API calls in lifecycle methods like componentDidMount().
11. State Management: - For complex state management, consider using a state management library like Redux or the built-in React https://skardtech.com/
