Introduction

ReactJS, a JavaScript library for building user interfaces, has revolutionized the way developers approach web development. At the core of React’s strength lies its component-based architecture. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the world of React components and explore how they empower developers to build scalable and maintainable web applications.

Understanding React Components

In React, everything is a component. Whether it’s a simple button or a complex form, breaking down the user interface into modular components brings clarity and reusability to the development process.

Functional Components

Functional components, introduced in React 16.8, have become a staple. They are concise, easy to understand, and with the introduction of Hooks, can now manage state and side effects.

// Example of a functional component
import React from 'react';

const MyComponent = () => {
  return <div>Hello, React!</div>;
};
