⚛️React

making dynamic user interfaces with this JavaScript library

React began in the early-2010s as a JavaScript library that can:

• organize reusable parts of a website into components

• handle user interaction

• manage changes in the data (known as state)

Mission

When we use React, we usually:

• gather JSON data (via fetch or some files) into "comfy" variables, which we can then

  • consume the data into various React components

    • visualize the data using JSX (a syntax similar in appearance to HTML)

• listen to user input (clicks, changes, keystrokes, mouseovers, etc.)

  • with handle methods

• manage changes in the data via state
