  • Employ and work with various React concepts and features including props, states, hooks, forms, and Redux.

Syllabus

Building Rich Front-End Applications with React and ES6
As you become more proficient with JavaScript, you will find that it is a very dynamic language and looks different from the typical object-oriented languages. Now you will discover new features that make developing simpler and faster than older JavaScript capabilities. Explore how to access the React web framework user interface (UI) library and run a simple React application. Find ways to use React components and change their properties and states in a dynamic UI.

React Components
How do you think data is managed in React? Changes in the component data are managed using state and props in a React application. In addition, you can pass data and state between components. You will discover the three phases of a component lifecycle and the methods used in each phase. Use hands-on experience to connect to an external server from a React page. Learn about the different approaches to test a component. Know about the different testing tools that you can use to test the component without manual verification.

Advanced React
Having problems with massive unmanageable applications? Learn about new features like Hooks and Redux to write complicated components. You will learn how Hooks handle events and logics in functional components without using classes. Redux offers a centralized state management system in your application. Learn all about the Redux elements involved in updating of the component properties.

Final Project
In the final project, you will create a React Budget Allocation app. You will learn how to break down a UI into React components and become familiar with state using the Context API. Furthermore, you will explore actions, reducers, and the dispatch function. Finally, you will create a code file, save it, and edit it to make changes.
