What is props in react

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.53 seconds

In React, props is short for "properties" and is an object of data that is passed down from a parent component to a child component. props allow data to be passed and shared between components, enabling the creation of dynamic and reusable React components.

Here's an example of how props can be used in React:

jsx
Copy code
//Parent Component function ParentComponent() { const name = "SheCodes"; return ( <ChildComponent name={name}/> ); } //Child Component function ChildComponent(props) { return <p>Hello, {props.name}!</p>; }

In this example, name is a variable in the parent component that gets passed down to the child component with the props parameter. The child component then uses props.name to access and render the value of name.

how to set src of image as variable

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.98 seconds

You can set the src of an image as a variable in React.js by defining a state variable to hold the value of the src and then updating it as needed. Here is an example:

jsx
Copy code
import React, { useState } from 'react'; function App() { const [imageSrc, setImageSrc] = useState('initial-image-src.jpg'); // Function to change the image source const changeImageSrc = () => { setImageSrc('new-image-src.jpg'); } return ( <div> <img src={imageSrc} alt="Example" /> <button onClick={changeImageSrc}>Change Image</button> </div> ); } export default App;

In this example, we create a state variable called imageSrc using the useState hook. We pass the initial value of the variable as 'initial-image-src.jpg'. We then use this variable as the src value for the img tag.

In the function changeImageSrc, we update the imageSrc state variable using the setImageSrc method to 'new-image-src.jpg'. When this function is called, the img tag will automatically update with the new src value.

Note: Make sure that the path for the image file is correct and the image file is available in the given path for proper image rendering.

how to create JSX Conditional rendering

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.63 seconds

JSX conditional rendering allows you to display different content based on certain conditions.

Here's an example of how to create JSX Conditional rendering in JavaScript:

js
Copy code
const isLoggedIn = true; function Greeting(props) { if (props.isLoggedIn) { return <h1>Welcome back!</h1>; } else { return <h1>Please sign up.</h1>; } } ReactDOM.render( <Greeting isLoggedIn={isLoggedIn} />, document.getElementById('root') );

In this example, the Greeting component accepts a props.isLoggedIn boolean value. Depending on the value of isLoggedIn, the component will render either "Welcome back!" or "Please sign up."

should useref be defined outside or inside component

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.1 seconds

useRef should be defined inside the component.

useRef is used to create a reference to a DOM or other element. Defining useRef outside of the component would create a single reference that would be shared among all instances of the component, which could cause unexpected behavior. By defining it inside the component, a new reference is created each time the component is rendered.

Example of using useRef in React:

jsx
Copy code
import { useRef } from 'react'; function TextInput() { const inputRef = useRef(null); // defining useRef inside component function handleClick() { inputRef.current.focus(); } return ( <> <input type="text" ref={inputRef} /> <button onClick={handleClick}>Focus Input</button> </> ); }

In this example, useRef is defined inside the TextInput component and used to create a reference to the input element. The handleClick function references this element through the current property of the inputRef.

How to upload a PDF file on React?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.61 seconds

To upload a PDF file in React, you can create a file input element and handle the file upload in React component using state.

Here's an example code snippet for a file input element that allows to select a PDF file and store it in the component's state:

jsx
Copy code
<input type="file" accept=".pdf" onChange={(event) => this.setState({ selectedFile: event.target.files[0] })} />

Then, you can send the selected file to your server or API for processing, or you can display the PDF in the browser by using a third-party library like react-pdf.

Example code using react-pdf:

jsx
Copy code
import { Document, Page } from 'react-pdf'; class PDFViewer extends React.Component { state = { selectedFile: null, numPages: null, pageNumber: 1, } onFileLoad = ({ target: { result } }) => { this.setState({ pdfData: result }); } onDocumentLoadSuccess = ({ numPages }) => { this.setState({ numPages }); } render() { const { pageNumber, numPages, pdfData } = this.state; return ( <> <input type="file" accept=".pdf" onChange={(event) => this.onFileLoad(event)} /> {pdfData && ( <Document file={pdfData} onLoadSuccess={this.onDocumentLoadSuccess}> <Page pageNumber={pageNumber} /> </Document> )} {pdfData && ( <p>Page {pageNumber} of {numPages}</p> )} </> ); } }

In this example, the PDF is displayed using <Document> and <Page> components provided by react-pdf library. The onDocumentLoadSuccess function sets the total number of pages in the state, which is then used to display the current page number.

react e-commerce single products page, with size optional, price change depending on size, option to show more than one product image

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.62 seconds

React.js Code:

jsx
Copy code
import React, { useState } from 'react'; const ProductPage = () => { const [selectedSize, setSelectedSize] = useState('S'); const [selectedPrice, setSelectedPrice] = useState(10); const handleSizeChange = (e) => { setSelectedSize(e.target.value); if (e.target.value === 'S') { setSelectedPrice(10); } else if (e.target.value === 'M') { setSelectedPrice(15); } else if (e.target.value === 'L') { setSelectedPrice(20); } } return ( <div className="product-page"> <div className="product-image-container"> <img src="image1.jpg" alt="Product Image" /> <img src="image2.jpg" alt="Product Image" /> </div> <div className="product-details"> <h1>Product Name</h1> <p>Price: ${selectedPrice}</p> <label htmlFor="size-select">Size:</label> <select id="size-select" value={selectedSize} onChange={handleSizeChange}> <option value="S">Small</option> <option value="M">Medium</option> <option value="L">Large</option> </select> <button>Add to Cart</button> </div> </div> ); }; export default ProductPage;

Explanation:

  • We use useState hook to manage the selected size and price of the product.
  • We listen to the changes in the size selection using the onChange event and update the selected size and price accordingly using the setSelectedSize and setSelectedPrice functions.
  • We display the product image(s), product name, price, size selection dropdown, and an Add to Cart button.
  • The price displayed changes depending on the selected size.
  • The user can see more than one product image.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» can you generate css style for it

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.6 seconds

Sure! Here is an example of CSS styling for the ProductPage component:

css
Copy code
.product-page { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; margin: 20px; } .product-image-container { display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; width: 50%; } .product-image-container img { max-width: 100%; max-height: 100%; object-fit: contain; margin-right: 20px; } .product-details { width: 50%; } .product-details h1 { font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; } .product-details p { font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; } .product-details label { font-size: 18px; margin-right: 10px; } .product-details select { font-size: 18px; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px; } .product-details button { font-size: 18px; padding: 10px 20px; background-color: lightblue; border: none; border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; } .product-details button:hover { background-color: deepskyblue; }

This CSS code will style the ProductPage component, specifically the layout, product images, and product details section, with appropriate sizing, colors, margins, and font styles.

You can adjust the styles to fit your design preferences.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» is the CSS code responsive?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.14 seconds

The CSS code I provided is not fully responsive as it does not include media queries for different screen sizes. However, it does use relative units like percentages and ems for widths, sizes, and margins to make the layout and font sizes more flexible and adaptable to different screen sizes.

If you want to make it fully responsive, you can add media queries for different screen sizes and adjust the styles accordingly. Here is an example of how you can modify the CSS code to make it responsive for screen sizes below 768 pixels:

css
Copy code
/* For screens below 768 pixels */ @media (max-width: 767px) { .product-page { flex-direction: column; } .product-image-container, .product-details { width: 100%; } .product-image-container { margin-bottom: 20px; } .product-image-container img { margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; } .product-details button { width: 100%; } }

This media query changes the layout direction to column for screen sizes below 768 pixels and adjusts the widths, margins, and font sizes of the image container, product details section, and Add to Cart button accordingly.

You can add more media queries for different screen sizes as needed to make the layout fully responsive.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» hello Athena the react product page code you wrote for me can you please include quantity options

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.53 seconds

Sure, here's an updated version of the React code for the ProductPage component that includes quantity options:

jsx
Copy code
import React, { useState } from 'react'; const ProductPage = () => { const [selectedSize, setSelectedSize] = useState('S'); const [selectedPrice, setSelectedPrice] = useState(10); const [selectedQty, setSelectedQty] = useState(1); const handleSizeChange = (e) => { setSelectedSize(e.target.value); if (e.target.value === 'S') { setSelectedPrice(10); } else if (e.target.value === 'M') { setSelectedPrice(15); } else if (e.target.value === 'L') { setSelectedPrice(20); } }; const handleQtyChange = (e) => { setSelectedQty(e.target.value); }; return ( <div className="product-page"> <div className="product-image-container"> <img src="image1.jpg" alt="Product Image" /> <img src="image2.jpg" alt="Product Image" /> </div> <div className="product-details"> <h1>Product Name</h1> <p>Price: ${selectedPrice}</p> <label htmlFor="size-select">Size:</label> <select id="size-select" value={selectedSize} onChange={handleSizeChange}> <option value="S">Small</option> <option value="M">Medium</option> <option value="L">Large</option> </select> <label htmlFor="qty-select">Quantity:</label> <select id="qty-select" value={selectedQty} onChange={handleQtyChange}> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> <option value="4">4</option> <option value="5">5</option> </select> <button>Add to Cart</button> </div> </div> ); }; export default ProductPage;

I added a new selectedQty state variable, as well as a new handleQtyChange function to update the selected quantity whenever the user changes the quantity selection. In the return section, I added a new label and select element for quantity options before the Add to Cart button.

You can customize the quantity options to your liking by modifying the values and text of the option elements in the qty-select element.

Yes, here's an updated version of the CSS code for the ProductPage component that includes the styling for the quantity options:

css

.product-page { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; } .product-image-container { display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; width: 50%; } .product-image-container img { max-width: 100%; max-height: 100%; object-fit: contain; margin-right: 20px; } .product-details { width: 50%; } .product-details h1 { font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; } .product-details p { font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; } .product-details label { font-size: 18px; margin-right: 10px; } .product-details select { font-size: 18px; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px; } .product-details button { font-size: 18px; padding: 10px 20px; background-color: lightblue; border: none; border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; } .product-details button:hover { background-color: deepskyblue; } /* Quantity options styling */ .product-details label[for="qty-select"] { margin-right: 10px; } .product-details select#qty-select { width: 80px; margin-right: 10px; } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { .product-page { flex-direction: column; } .product-image-container, .product-details { width: 100%; } .product-image-container img { margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; } .product-details button { width: 100%; } .product-details select#qty-select { margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 20px; } }

I added some styles for the quantity options by selecting the label and select elements with the for and id attributes, respectively. In the example code above, I gave the qty-select dropdown menu a width of 80 pixels and a margin-right of 10 pixels to space it out from the size dropdown. I also added a media query to adjust the styling for smaller screens.

You can customize the quantity options' style by modifying the CSS code above.

To import the Hero Section from Flowbite into your Flowbite React project, you can follow these steps:

  1. First, make sure you have installed Flowbite in your React project. You can do this by running the command npm install flowbite in your terminal.

  2. Next, you need to import the Hero Section component from Flowbite into your React project. You can do this by adding the following line of code at the top of your React component:

jsx
Copy code
import { HeroSection } from 'flowbite';
  1. Once you have imported the HeroSection component, you can use it in your JSX code just like any other React component. Here is an example of how to use it:

How to use states in react

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.61 seconds

To use states in React, you can utilize the useState() Hook. This hook allows you to declare and update states within your functional components.

Here is an example in JavaScript:

javascript
Copy code
import React, { useState } from 'react'; function Counter() { const [count, setCount] = useState(0); return ( <div> <p>You clicked {count} times</p> <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}> Click me </button> </div> ); }

In this example, we declare the count state using the useState() Hook and initialize it to 0. We also declare the setCount function, which will be used to update the count state.

Within the return statement, we render the current count state value and a button that, when clicked, will update the count state by calling setCount and passing in the new count value.

You can learn more about the useState() Hook in the official React documentation: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-state.html

Note:

  • We create a state variable sidebarOpen to handle whether the sidebar is open or closed by default it is set to false.
  • We use onMouseEnter and onMouseLeave events to handle sidebar open and close.
  • When the sidebar is closed, we only show a button with a bar icon. And when the sidebar is open, we show the icons and the text of the items.
  • We also include CSS styles to make the sidebar look nice and responsive.

What is a root element in react?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.56 seconds

In React, the root element refers to the top-level element that is the parent of all other components in your application.

It is typically represented as a DOM node within the public/index.html file that serves as the entry point for your React app.

For example, in the following code, root is a DOM node that serves as the starting point for rendering our React components:

jsx
Copy code
import React from 'react'; import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'; const App = () => { return ( <div> <h1>Hello, World!</h1> </div> ); }; ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Here, the ReactDOM.render() method is used to render the App component inside the root element, which is referenced by document.getElementById('root').

I want to use bootstrap with react. I have imported bootstrap into my react app. However bootstrap does not work. How to properly use bootstrap with react?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 12.83 seconds

To use Bootstrap with React, you need to install the react-bootstrap package, which is a popular React implementation of the Bootstrap framework.

Here are the steps to using react-bootstrap in your React app:

  1. First, install the react-bootstrap package by running npm install react-bootstrap in your terminal (Make sure you're in your project directory).

  2. Once that is done, you should import the Bootstrap CSS into your React app. You can add the Bootstrap CSS file to your index.js or index.html file. For index.js, you can add the following code:

js
Copy code
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
  1. After installing the package and importing the CSS, you can use any of the Bootstrap components in your React app.

Here is an example code snippet that shows how to use a Navbar component from react-bootstrap in your app:

js
Copy code
// Import Navbar from react-bootstrap import { Navbar, Nav, NavDropdown } from 'react-bootstrap'; // Create the Navbar function App() { return ( <Navbar bg="light" expand="lg"> <Navbar.Brand href="#home">React-Bootstrap</Navbar.Brand> <Navbar.Toggle aria-controls="basic-navbar-nav" /> <Navbar.Collapse id="basic-navbar-nav"> <Nav className="mr-auto"> <Nav.Link href="#home">Home</Nav.Link> <Nav.Link href="#link">Link</Nav.Link> <NavDropdown title="Dropdown" id="basic-nav-dropdown"> <NavDropdown.Item href="#action/3.1">Action</NavDropdown.Item> <NavDropdown.Item href="#action/3.2">Another action</NavDropdown.Item> <NavDropdown.Item href="#action/3.3">Something</NavDropdown.Item> <NavDropdown.Divider /> <NavDropdown.Item href="#action/3.4">Separated link</NavDropdown.Item> </NavDropdown> </Nav> </Navbar.Collapse> </Navbar> ); }

With this, you should be able to use bootstrap in your React application.

how to validate two fields using jsx code?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.21 seconds

To validate two fields using JSX code, you can create a state to keep track of their values and a function to check for validation. Here's an example code in React:

jsx
Copy code
import React, { useState } from 'react'; function Form() { const [field1, setField1] = useState(''); const [field2, setField2] = useState(''); function validateFields() { if (field1 === '' || field2 === '') { // fields are empty, show error message or do something else console.log('Fields cannot be empty'); return false; } if (field1 === field2) { // fields are equal, show error message or do something else console.log('Fields cannot be equal'); return false; } // fields are valid, continue with form submission or do something else console.log('Fields are valid'); return true; } function handleSubmit(e) { e.preventDefault(); if (validateFields()) { // do something with form data console.log('Form submitted successfully'); } } return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}> <label> Field 1: <input type="text" value={field1} onChange={(e) => setField1(e.target.value)} /> </label> <label> Field 2: <input type="text" value={field2} onChange={(e) => setField2(e.target.value)} /> </label> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> ); }

In this example, we create a Form component with two input fields (field1 and field2) and a submit button. We use the useState hook to create state variables for each field and update their values when the user types something in. We also create a validateFields function that checks if both fields are not empty and not equal to each other. This function is called when the user submits the form, and if the fields are valid it proceeds with the form submission. If the fields are invalid, it shows an error message.

Note that this is just an example code and you might need to adjust it to your specific use case.

how to get the key configuration for react

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.56 seconds

To get the key configuration for React, you will need to specify a 'key' prop for each element in a list so that React can track the identity of the individual components in the list. This helps with performance when the list is modified.

Here's an example code snippet in JavaScript:

jsx
Copy code
const listItems = items.map(item => <li key={item.id}>{item.name}</li>);

In this example, each list item has a unique 'id' assigned as its key.

Here's a helpful link to the React documentation on lists and keys: https://reactjs.org/docs/lists-and-keys.html

i need a two steps pop-up form

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.03 seconds

Here's an example of a two-step popup form in React:

jsx
Copy code
import React, { useState } from "react"; const TwoStepPopupForm = () => { const [step, setStep] = useState(1); const [firstName, setFirstName] = useState(""); const [lastName, setLastName] = useState(""); const [email, setEmail] = useState(""); const handleNextStep = () => { setStep(step + 1); }; const handlePreviousStep = () => { setStep(step - 1); }; const handleSubmit = (event) => { event.preventDefault(); console.log(`First Name: ${firstName}`); console.log(`Last Name: ${lastName}`); console.log(`Email: ${email}`); }; return ( <div> {step === 1 && ( <form onSubmit={handleNextStep}> <label> First Name: <input type="text" value={firstName} onChange={(event) => setFirstName(event.target.value)} /> </label> <br /> <label> Last Name: <input type="text" value={lastName} onChange={(event) => setLastName(event.target.value)} /> </label> <br /> <button type="submit">Next</button> </form> )} {step === 2 && ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}> <label> Email: <input type="email" value={email} onChange={(event) => setEmail(event.target.value)} /> </label> <br /> <button type="button" onClick={handlePreviousStep}> Back </button> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> )} </div> ); }; export default TwoStepPopupForm;

This component uses state to keep track of which step of the form the user is on. Depending on the step, it renders different form elements. If the user is on the first step, they can input their first name and last name, and then click the "Next" button to move on to the second step. If they are on the second step, they can input their email address, and then click "Back" to go back to the first step, or "Submit" to submit the form.

Note: This is just an example and not a complete solution. You would need to add styling and additional functionality as per your requirements.

what is a react

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.31 seconds

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It allows developers to create reusable UI components and manage the state of the application efficiently. React uses a virtual DOM, which improves the performance of rendering and updating elements on the page. You can learn more about React here: https://reactjs.org/

How to define state when using `history.goBack()` in ReactJS?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.66 seconds

history.goBack() is a function in React Router that allows the user to navigate to the previous page in the browser history. If you want to define the state when using history.goBack(), you can pass the state object as a second argument to the history.push() method when navigating to the current page.

Here's an example code block in JavaScript:

javascript
Copy code
// defining state when navigating to current page history.push('/current', { name: 'John' }); // go back to previous page history.goBack();

In the above example, the current page is navigated to with the state object { name: 'John' }. When the history.goBack() method is called, the user will be taken to the previous page with the state from the '/current' page.

Asked 2 years ago in React by Shahrzad

can you describe react state?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.88 seconds

In React, state is an object that stores information about the component's current state or state changes. The state object is accessible only within the component itself, and can be updated using the setState() method. When the state of a component changes, React will rerender the component and any child components that depend the updated state.

Here is an example of how state can be defined and used in a React component:

jsx
Copy code
import React, { useState } from 'react'; function Counter() { const [count, setCount] = useState(0); function increment() { setCount(count + 1); } return ( <div> <p>Count: {count}</p> <button onClick={increment}>Increment</button> </div> ); }

In this example, count is the state variable, which is initialized with a value of 0 using the useState() hook. The increment() function updates the state by calling setCount(), passing in the new count value. Finally, the component renders the count value within a paragraph element and a button that, when clicked, calls the increment() function to update the state.

Asked 2 years ago in React by ΠœΠ°Ρ€Π³Π°Ρ€ΠΈΡ‚Π°

Using event handlers and React hooks (useState, useEffect) The component must accept a value parameter to set the scale to an initial value between 0 and 100 inclusive. Each press of the "-" (minus) or " " (plus) button should cause the progress bar to visually decrease or increase, respectively, while updating the current numerical value in the center below the bar. When incrementing or decrementing, the current value must always be between 0 and 100 inclusive. When the minimum or maximum is reached, the corresponding button should become visually inactive. When passing a value greater than 100 to the value parameter, 100 should be set. When passing to the value parameter, a value less than 0 should be set to 0.

how to make current date in react

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.21 seconds

To get the current date in React, you can use the Date() function.

javascript
Copy code
const today = new Date();

This will create a Date object that contains the current date. Then you can format it however you'd like:

javascript
Copy code
const month = today.getMonth()+1; const year = today.getFullYear(); const date = today. getDate(); const currentDate = month + "/" + date + "/" + year;

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.36 seconds

Here's an example of a function that returns the current date as a formatted string in React:

javascript
Copy code
function getDate() { const today = new Date(); const month = today.getMonth() + 1; const year = today.getFullYear(); const date = today.getDate(); return `${month}/${date}/${year}`; }

You can then call the getDate function to get the current date in your React component.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» how to show the date in the specified place in react

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.17 seconds

To show the date in a specified place in a React component, you can use JSX to render the date string wherever you'd like it to appear. Here's an example of how you could update the getDate function from the previous question and use it to render the current date:

javascript
Copy code
import React, { useState } from 'react'; function getDate() { const today = new Date(); const month = today.getMonth() + 1; const year = today.getFullYear(); const date = today.getDate(); return `${month}/${date}/${year}`; } function App() { const [currentDate, setCurrentDate] = useState(getDate()); return ( <div> <h1>Today's Date</h1> <p>{currentDate}</p> </div> ); } export default App;

In this example, we've created a state variable currentDate in the App component and set its initial value to the current date using the getDate function. Then we use JSX to render the date string inside a paragraph (<p>) element within the div with a title header (<h1>Today's Date</h1>).

Whenever you want to update the date display, you can simply call setCurrentDate(getDate()).

what are hooks on reactjs

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 45.18 seconds

React Hooks are functions that let you β€˜hook into’ React features from function components. They are mainly used for state management inside components. Using hooks, you can use local state inside simple components, write custom hooks to reuse your stateful logic and also use React’s built-in hooks like useState and useEffect which allow you to set local state and access lifecycle features from functional components.

For example you can use the useState hook to create a local state variable and set its initial value like this:

js
Copy code
import React, { useState } from "react"; const Example = () => { const [count, setCount] = useState(0); return ( <div> <p>You clicked {count} times</p> <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}> Click me </button> </div> ); }

React also has two other built-in hooks, useEffect and useContext, as well as many transition and form hooks.

is root.render() the same as function() in react?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 12.99 seconds

No, root.render() is a method provided by ReactDOM that can be used to render React components to the DOM. The more generic function() refers to a JavaScript function, and is generally used in defining components.

Example:

javascript
Copy code
// Defining a React component function MyComponent(props) { return ( <h1>Hello, {props.name}</h1> ); } // Rendering component to the DOM ReactDOM.render(<MyComponent name="Athena" />, root);

what does strictmode mean in the react template

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 16.77 seconds

Strict Mode is an opt-in feature in React that helps developers to identify and fix potential issues in their code. It provides warnings about legacy code patterns, identify potential mistakes and also performs additional checks and warnings. React only activates Strict Mode in development, in order to help developers identify issues for their own projects. For example, Strict Mode detects accidentalFragment props passing and usage of legacy string refs API. Code snippet might look like below:

js
Copy code
ReactDOM.render( <React.StrictMode> <App /> </React.StrictMode>, document.getElementById('root') );

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»πŸ€πŸ’»
