React.js

In this blog, I would like to share my experience in learning and applying React.js to build a web application.

React.js is a popular JavaScript library used for building user interfaces. It was created by Facebook and has gained a lot of popularity due to its efficiency, flexibility, and ease of use. When I started learning React, I found the learning curve to be steep, but with practice and patience, I was able to grasp the fundamentals.

One of the features I found particularly helpful was the use of components in React. Components are reusable pieces of code that can be used to build complex user interfaces. They can be nested within each other, and each component can have its own state and properties. This made it easier for me to break down the user interface into smaller, more manageable parts.

Another feature I found useful was React's virtual DOM. The virtual DOM is a lightweight representation of the actual DOM and allows React to update only the parts of the user interface that have changed, rather than the entire page. This greatly improves the performance of the application and makes it more efficient.

To apply my newly acquired React knowledge, I decided to build a simple to-do list application. The application had a form where users could input a task, and the task would be added to the list. Users could also mark tasks as completed, and the completed tasks would be crossed out.

Overall, learning and applying React was a challenging yet rewarding experience. I was able to build a functional application and gain a better understanding of modern web development practices. I look forward to continuing my journey with React and exploring more of its features.
