// The main selling point of React is its component system
// components are used to encapsulate elements and their behaviour
// see them as a mix of controller and view of MVC
// Here we use stand alone elements and some data
var data = "world";
var reactElement = (
<div>
<h1>Hello</h1>
<h2>{data}</h2>
</div>
);
// Here the elements are encapsuled in a simple component function
// They have to start with a capital letter and return exactly ONE
// root element with or without nested elements (before React 16)
function MyComponent() {
var data = "world";
return (
<div>
<h1>Hello</h1>
<h2>{data}</h2>
</div>
);
}
// Since React 16.0.0, components can return an array of elements as
// well. In doing so, no additional wrapper element is created. One
// caveat is that, similarly to what we do when rendering an array, we
// have to add a unique key to each element in the array, also don't
// forget the commas (we'll see more on this in the next lesson)
function MyComponent() {
var data = "world";
return [<h1 key="hello">Hello</h1>, <h2 key="data">{data}</h2>];
}
// Since React 16.2.0, we can use special "wrapper" components called
// fragments that behave the same (no extra wrapper element created)
// but remove the need to explicitly set keys (fragments do this under
// the hood) and commas.
function MyComponent() {
var data = "world";
return (
<React.Fragment>
<h1>Hello</h1>
<h2>{data}</h2>
</React.Fragment>
);
}
// a component function can be used like an element
reactElement = <MyComponent />;
// this translates to a React.createElement() call
// the null indicates that no properties have been set
reactElement = React.createElement(MyComponent, null);
// for reference a react-internal <div> tag
var anotherElement = <div />;
// gets converted to
anotherElement = React.createElement("div", null);
var renderTarget = document.getElementById("app");
ReactDOM.render(reactElement, renderTarget);
