In React, components are the building blocks of a user interface. They are reusable, self-contained pieces of code that encapsulate a specific functionality or UI element.
1. React Components
React is a popular JavaScript library used for building user interfaces. It follows
a component-based architecture, where the user interface is divided into
reusable and independent components. In this response, I will explain various
React components and their functionalities in detail.
1. Functional Components: Functional components are the simplest form of
components in React. They are JavaScript functions that take inputs (props) and
return React elements to describe the user interface. Functional components
are used for presenting UI elements without maintaining any state.
2. Class Components: Class components are JavaScript classes that extend the
base React.Component class. They have additional features compared to
functional components, such as the ability to maintain state, handle lifecycle
methods, and have access to this keyword. Class components have been widely
used in earlier versions of React, but with the introduction of React Hooks,
functional components have gained more prominence.
3. React Hooks: Introduced in React 16.8, hooks are functions that allow
functional components to use React features like state, context, and lifecycle
methods. Some commonly used hooks include:
componentWillUnmount: Executed before the component is removed from the
DOM.
4. Higher-Order Components (HOCs): Higher-Order Components are functions
that take a component as input and return an enhanced version of that
component. HOCs allow code reuse, logic abstraction, and can provide
additional props or functionality to the wrapped component.
5. Render Props: Render props is a technique where a component receives a
function as a prop and uses that function to render its output. The component
passes data or behavior to the function, enabling the receiver component to
use or display that data.
