Basic Concepts of Components
Components are fundamental building blocks in React. They represent isolated and reusable parts of a user interface.
A component can be anything from a simple button to a complex navigation bar. They help break down the user interface into smaller and more manageable parts.
When you create a component in React, you’re essentially creating your own custom HTML tag.
For example, imagine you need a button component for an application. Instead of repeating the HTML code for the button in various places, you can create a button component and reuse it whenever you need a button in your application.
import React from 'react';
function Button() {
return (
<button>Click me</button>
);
}
export default Button;
This simplifies the code and makes it easier to maintain and update your application. Components also allow you to pass data to them through props and manage their internal state. This will be covered in detail in the following topics.
