console.log('Hello World')
About two days ago I began a journey to discover React as a front-end framework and document each step of the way to come up with a fully fledged web-application. A lot of tutorials out there are not as detailed enough to give a smooth entry for new react developers and honestly this has made it even harder. The official React website provides a starter code for a TicTacToe game.
class Square extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<button className="square">
{/* TODO */}
</button>
);
}
}
class Board extends React.Component {
renderSquare(i) {
return <Square />;
}
render() {
const status = 'Next player: X';
return (
<div>
<div className="status">{status}</div>
<div className="board-row">
{this.renderSquare(0)}
{this.renderSquare(1)}
{this.renderSquare(2)}
</div>
<div className="board-row">
{this.renderSquare(3)}
{this.renderSquare(4)}
{this.renderSquare(5)}
</div>
<div className="board-row">
{this.renderSquare(6)}
{this.renderSquare(7)}
{this.renderSquare(8)}
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
class Game extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div className="game">
<div className="game-board">
<Board />
</div>
<div className="game-info">
<div>{/* status */}</div>
<ol>{/* TODO */}</ol>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
// ========================================
ReactDOM.render(
<Game />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
As much as reading through this gives one an insight on React, reading the code renders my conclusion as in no way can you learn React without JavaScript basics.
