Summary

In this chapter, we started to create React components and explored their basic features. In particular, we:

  • Learned how to define a component as a class derived from React.Component, and how to import specific CSS styles
  • Explored the syntax of JSX, which allows us to quickly define the graphical aspect of a component and use React components that were defined elsewhere
  • Combined React components in order to build other components
  • Used state management features so that React components automatically update their visual representation when data changes

In the next chapter, we will analyze how to manage user interaction with a React-based application; in other words, how to capture events and make a UI react to those events.
