Classes are like templates for objects!
const foo = ['a', 'b', 'c']
const bar = ['d', 'e', 'f']
console.log(...foo)
console.log([...foo, ...bar])
"a" "b" "c"
["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"]
Array Spread
const defaultStyle = {
color: 'black',
fontSize: 12,
fontWeight: 'normal'
}
const style = {
...defaultStyle,
fontWeight: 'bold',
backgroundColor: 'white'
}
console.log(style)
Object {
color: "black", fontSize: 12,
fontWeight: "bold", backgroundColor: "white"
}
Object Spread
let [name, team] = ["Bob", "100Devs"]
console.log(name)//"Bob"
console.log(team)//"100Devs"
Array Destructuring
let mascot = {name: "Bob", team: "100Devs"}
let {name, team} = mascot
console.log(name)//"Bob"
console.log(team)//"100Devs"
Object Destructuring
🚨 WARNING 🚨
React
React is a library for handling your UI.
It allows you to write components which you can re-use and
extend when needed. It does not handle anything else!
🚨 WARNING 🚨
React APIs
"react" contains the APIs for creating components
"react-dom" contains the APIs for rendering to the browser DOM
JSX
React components are functions which return JSX
A syntax extension to JS!
JSX is a shortcut for using the React.createElement() API, that is
much more concise, easy to read, and visually looks a little like the generated UI (as both are tree-like).
this.props
Component API
Props are arguments passed into React Components
Components can be configured upon instantiation by
passing properties to the constructor
this.state
Component API
React components have a built-in state object
This is where you store stuff related to the component
When the state object changes, the component
REACTS and re-renders!
Virtual DOM
