Function Component
The basis for a component
From the original Fervor library. Examples may use older package versions.
To create a function component in React, follow these steps:
\
- Import React at the top of your file:
import React from 'react';
- Define your function component:
function MyComponent(props) {
// Add your component logic here
return (
<div>
{/* Add your JSX code here */}
</div>
);
}
The component function should take in props as a parameter, which gives you access to the properties that were passed in when the component was rendered.
3. Export your component at the bottom of your file:
export default MyComponent;
That’s it!
With function components, you don’t have to worry about lifecycle methods like you did with class components.
Instead, you can use React Hooks like useEffect to perform actions at different points in the component’s lifecycle. Again, you’ll want to customize this boilerplate to suit your specific needs, but this should give you a good starting point!
