What are the prerequisites for the Ultimate React Course?
Press to flip
The course requires knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and uses TypeScript for static typing.
What is the primary utility of React and how did it originate?
React is a JavaScript library for building dynamic, interactive UIs. It was created at Facebook in 2011 to manage complex DOM updates efficiently.
In what ways can React components handle conditional rendering?
Conditional rendering in React can be done using ternary operators or logical AND (`&&`) within JSX.
Describe the purpose of the `map()` function in rendering lists in React.
The `map()` function iterates over a data array and returns JSX elements, allowing dynamic rendering of lists.
What command is used to create a new React app using Vite?
The command is `npm create vite@latest`.
How can you integrate Bootstrap styling within a React component?
Bootstrap can be integrated into a React component by installing Bootstrap via npm and importing the necessary CSS files.
What features do React Dev Tools provide for debugging?
React Dev Tools allow developers to inspect component hierarchies, view props and state, and navigate source code.
Why is React classified as a library instead of a framework?
React is termed a library as it focuses purely on UI components, unlike frameworks, and requires additional tools for routing and state management.
Describe the significance of using function-based components in React.
Function-based components in React provide a simple, modern pattern for writing components with hooks for state and lifecycle management.
Discuss the role of TypeScript interfaces in defining component props.
TypeScript interfaces define the shape and types of props that a component expects, providing compile-time type safety.
Explain the difference between props and state in React components.
Props are used to pass data to components and are immutable, while state is used for managing a component's dynamic data which can change over time.
What techniques can be utilized to notify parent components about state changes?
Child components can notify parents about changes by using function props called in response to state changes or events.
How do hooks such as `useState` assist in functional components?
`useState` enables functional components to hold state variables, making them dynamic and stateful.
How does React's virtual DOM benefit application performance?
The virtual DOM allows React to update components efficiently by computing the difference between states and updating only the required elements.
Outline the initial steps for setting up a development environment for React.
Install Node.js (version 16 or higher), set up Visual Studio Code, and configure the Prettier extension for code formatting.
