Embarking on Your Journey with React JS: A Guide for Beginners
Welcome to the fascinating world of React JS, where building dynamic user interfaces becomes an enjoyable journey rather than a daunting task. Whether you’re aiming to craft a sleek portfolio, a bustling e-commerce site, or a vibrant social media platform, React JS stands as your dependable companion. Today, we’re diving deep into the essentials of React JS, and by the end, you’ll be well-equipped to kick start your own project—a to-do list app that’s not just theoretical but a practical demonstration of your newly acquired skills.
Understanding React JS and Single Page Applications
At its core, React JS is a front-end JavaScript library that’s become the go-to solution for developers aiming to create interactive and seamless user experiences. One of its standout features is the ability to build single-page applications (SPAs). Take YouTube, for example. Notice how clicking on different sections like playlists or community doesn’t reload the page? That’s SPA magic at work, courtesy of React JS. Through JSX (JavaScript Syntax Extension), developers can weave HTML and JavaScript together, simplifying the development process significantly.
Breaking Down Components and Props in React
One of the beauties of React JS lies in its component-based architecture. This approach allows you to divide your UI into reusable components (think sidebar, navigation bar, header), making your development process more streamlined and manageable. Coupled with the power of props, you can effortlessly pass data from one component to another, enhancing the interactivity and functionality of your application.
Introducing Hooks and Pre-built Packages
React’s ecosystem is rich with hooks and pre-built packages that further simplify the development process. For instance, useState and useEffect are hooks that you’ll find indispensable for managing state and side effects in your React applications. Moreover, the integration of powerful platforms like Cloudways and Hostinger for hosting, or essential plugins like FluentForm for form building, can significantly elevate your project’s functionality and user experience.
Setting Up Your React Environment
The first step on your React journey involves setting up your development environment, which includes installing Node.js. Node.js serves as the backbone for managing your project’s dependencies and running your React app locally. Once installed, creating your project with a tool like `create-react-app` lays down the foundation for your to-do list application.
Deep Dive into React Components and JSX
Diving into React, you’ll quickly encounter JSX, a syntax extension that allows you to write HTML within JavaScript. This powerful feature simplifies the process of building your application’s UI. By creating components for different parts of your app (like a navbar or sidebar), you can start piecing together your project in a modular and organized way.
Enhancing User Interaction with State Management and Events
A core aspect of any dynamic application is managing user interactions and application state. React’s useState hook comes into play here, enabling you to maintain state within your components. Coupling state management with event handling (like clicking a button or submitting a form), you can create interactive and responsive applications.
Project Time: Building a To-Do List App
With the fundamentals under your belt, it’s time to put theory into practice by building a to-do list app. This project will consolidate your understanding of React components, state management, and event handling. By breaking down the app into smaller components (for adding tasks, displaying tasks, etc.) and utilizing CSS for styling, you’ll create a functional and aesthetically pleasing to-do list.
Deploying Your React Project
Once your to-do list app is ready, deploying it is the next step. Platforms like Cloudways offer a streamlined deployment process, ensuring your application is accessible to users worldwide. Additionally, leveraging tools like Rank Math SEO can enhance your app’s visibility, drawing more users to your project.
Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead
As we conclude this journey into React JS, remember that what we’ve covered is just the tip of the iceberg. The React ecosystem is vast, with libraries like Redux for state management or tools like Elementor for WordPress integration offering avenues for further exploration and learning.
Final Thoughts
React JS opens a world of possibilities for front-end development, offering the tools and flexibility needed to create dynamic, user-friendly applications. Whether you’re building a simple to-do list or a complex e-commerce site, React provides the foundation for your development needs. So, dive in, experiment, and watch as your React projects come to life!

@ashutosh_tiwari
I remember this channel, this is the channel where I first started learning HTML/CSS when I was in my 8th Standard, back then it's name was easy tutorials. Your tutorials are really very easy and understandable so please keep making these videos. And one suggestion would be that, try to make videos on trending topics with more complex and good looking projects. Like you can create a beginner, intermediate and advanced playlist on React, Tailwind, Framer Motion etc.
Ohh I forgot to mention that now I'm in College 2nd year doing BCA.

Honestly little too much for a beginner tutorial but thanks anyways . Learned a lot 🙂
@dude-ox2em
The explanation in the video is very good but the topics are not explained elaborately .
He explains the contents but what,why etc are not explained. The main objective of this video is to make the students ready to make a simple App rather than to make them understand the stuffs what they do and why they do.
@React1007

@Aashiqui-pf7ni
hi sir actually its lot more for a beginer like useEffect ,localstorage so still need some clarity but thats for the video but i can't delete all the data (todos)
@kuldeeprawat328
When the page is reloaded, your component will be remounted.
Without the first useEffect, the todos state will be re-initialized to an empty array [].
Then, the second useEffect will run, as it still exists in your code. However, since the todos(state variable) state is now an empty array, the localStorage.setItem("todos", JSON.stringify(todos)) line will store an empty array in localStorage under the key "todos".
As a result, when the page is reloaded, the todos state will be initialized as an empty array, and the data in localStorage under the key "todos" will also be an empty array. This behavior will cause any previously saved todos to be lost because they were not loaded into the todos state during component initialization.
Was this explanation technically correct?
