React.JS is one of the best frameworks when it comes to App development. It is a JavaScript library launched in 2013 and now maintained by Facebook.

React.JS is such a framework highly recommended by many developers when you want to create web and mobile App for your business.

Since React.JS has a basic principle of “learn once — write anywhere” it facilitates developers to robust and rich UI Apps in an effective way.

Every now and then a new technology comes to market, but only a few meet the expectation and needs to become successful. React.JS is one of them that offers great many benefits which I have explained below.

Benefits of using React.JS

React.JS is a flexible and efficient framework used to create simple, fast, and scalable Apps. Today there are more than 4,228,542 websites on the Internet using React.JS. I have listed out some unique features or characteristics of React.JS that make it special.

  • Faster development — It allows developers to use individual parts of their App on both the client-side and the server-side. So, it helps to speed up the development process by allocating tasks to different developers to work simultaneously.
  • Better flexibility and performance — Due to its modular structure, React.JS is flexible. This saves a lot of time and money for businesses. Additionally, the virtual DOM program and server-side rendering give top performance.

Create Your Own React.JS App

Step 1 — Setting Up React Project

Install globally create react app and make the following commands,

npm install -g create-react-app

create-react-app <appname>

yarn start

yarn run build

yarn test

yarn run eject

Step 2 — Creating a Component

Building An App using React.JS means component-based development. In other words, we have to integrate many small components. Let’s assume that we are building a billing App for a supermarket. The outline would be something like this,

  1. Display of products based on different quantity
  2. Filter products by search field
  3. User can add new products and make their purchase
  4. Display total bill amount

Step 3 — Actual development

Let’s use a single responsibility principle design pattern due to its simplicity. It states that one component should perform only one responsibility.

The components should include,

  1. Application header
  2. Add a new product
  3. Filter bill (Search)
  4. Product List
  5. The title bar of the product list (part of component 4)
  6. Single bill row of product list (part of component 4)
  7. Total Bill Amount

Now comes inter-component communication. We can use Props which is the easiest way where we pass values as an attribute from parent to child. In the below-mentioned example, we loop through all the products and pass the product to the ProductDetailsRow component that renders a single row.

{ this.props.products.map((product,i)=>{return (<ProductDetailsRow detail={product}></ProductDetailsRow>)

})

}

These steps give you a rough idea of how to create a React.JS app. But it takes an experienced and skilled developer to create such an App that performs well in the real world.
