React is a well - known library for crafting user interfaces. This Skill Tree offers a systematic way to learn React. Tailored for web development novices, it provides a structured guide to grasp components, state management, and hooks. Hands - on, non - video courses and coding exercises in an interactive frontend playground help you develop practical skills in building modern, responsive web applications with React.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
FUNDAMENTALS
Fundamental concepts and building blocks of React, including JSX, components, props, state management, event handling, conditional rendering, lists, and keys.
JSX (JavaScript XML) is a syntax extension for JavaScript used in React to define the structure of UI components in a declarative way.
Components are the basic building blocks in React, and props are used to pass data from parent to child components.
State allows components to store and manage data that can change over time, and lifecycle methods enable control over component behavior.
React allows you to handle user interactions and events, making the application interactive and responsive.
Conditional rendering enables showing different content based on certain conditions, improving UI flexibility.
When rendering lists of elements, using keys is crucial to help React identify and efficiently update elements.
ADVANCED CONCEPTS
Advanced React concepts and techniques, such as the Context API, higher-order components, React Hooks, code splitting, portals, and error boundaries.
The Context API provides a way to share data between components without having to pass props through intermediate components.
Hooks allow functional components to manage state and side effects, offering a more concise way to work with React features.
STYLING
Styling techniques and libraries for designing React components, including CSS in React, Styled Components, and CSS Modules.
Incorporating CSS in React applications to style components using standard CSS stylesheets.
STATE MANAGEMENT
Techniques and patterns for managing state in React applications, including useState, useReducer, and global state management.
useState and useReducer are hooks for managing local component state, allowing components to react to changes.
Context in React can be used to share and manage global state across components, reducing prop drilling.
ROUTING
Navigation and routing in React applications, including React Router basics, dynamic routing, and nested routes.
React Router is a library for adding client-side routing to React applications, allowing navigation between different views.
PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
Techniques and strategies for optimizing the performance of React applications, including memoization, virtual DOM, and lazy loading.
UseMemo is a hook that optimizes expensive calculations by caching results for re-use in functional components.
