React Js Roadmap : Summary of Tutorial 1 of chai aur React series
This is the short summary I am sharing based on what I have learnt through this video .
React as a Library: React is a JavaScript library, offering more flexibility compared to frameworks that impose strict rules. The analogy to remember is military has strict rule just like frame work , You need to work in the given frame. You can’t broke the rules . But library is not much strict you have flexibility to do the things your way .
Why React: While JavaScript can handle everything, it becomes verbose and complex for larger applications. React simplifies the process by following a declarative approach—focusing on "what" needs to be done, not "how," making code cleaner and easier to manage.
How React Began: React originated at Facebook to solve issues with their chat system, like real-time updates. Initially, it was not well-received, but over time it became a widely-used and appreciated library.
Prerequisites: Strong foundational knowledge of JavaScript is crucial before learning React. Without it, you might struggle, as understanding JavaScript’s workings helps grasp React more effectively.
Core Concepts in React: React has various tools like hooks (
useState,useReducer, etc.) and state management libraries (Redux, Zustand) that help make development smoother and more efficient.
