ReactJS

Small reusable components

  • Good components separation (one component per file)
  • Based on virtualDOM
  • No direct DOM modification (operate on component state)
  • Operate only on application data
<div class='app' style="background-color: #faf;">
    <button class='change-color-button'>
        Change component background
    </button>
</div>

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('.change-color-button').click(function() {
            $('.app').css('background-color', '#afa');
        });
    });
</script>
// App.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';

class App extends Component {
  changeColor() {
    this.setState({
      backgroundColor: '#afa'
    });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App" style={{ backgroundColor: this.state.backgroundColor }}>
        <button onClick={this.changeColor}>Change component background</button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

// index.js
...
ReactDOM.render(
  <App />,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
...
<body>
    <div id="root"></div>
</body>
...
