React Install

Before starting, make sure you have installed Node.js and npm. You can check if they are installed by running the following commands: node -v npm -v If your system does not support Node.js and NPM yet, you can refer to our [Node.js Tutorial](#). We recommend using the CommonJS module system in React, such as browserify or webpack. This tutorial uses webpack. Using npm in China is very slow. You can use the Taobao-customized cnpm (gzip compression support) command-line tool instead of the default npm: $ npm install -g cnpm --registry=https://registry.npmmirror.com $ npm config set registry https://registry.npmmirror.com This way you can use the cnpm command to install modules: $ cnpm install For more information, visit: [http://npm.taobao.org/](http://npm.taobao.org/). * * * ## Use create-react-app to Quickly Build React Development Environment React provides an official tool Create React App for quickly setting up React projects. create-react-app is from Facebook, which allows us to quickly build a React development environment without any configuration. create-react-app automatically creates projects based on Webpack + ES6. Execute the following commands to create a project: $ cnpm install -g create-react-app $ create-react-app my-app $ cd my-app/ $ npm start > You can also use the npx command to create a project. npx is a tool included in npm 5.2.0 and higher versions, used to execute local or remote npm packages: > > npx create-react-app my-app Open **http://localhost:3000/** in your browser, and the result is shown below: !(#) The project directory structure is as follows: my-first-react-app/ β”œβ”€β”€ node_modules/ β”œβ”€β”€ public/ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ favicon.ico β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ index.html β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ logo192.png β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ logo512.png β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ manifest.json β”‚ └── robots.txt β”œβ”€β”€ src/ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ App.css β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ App.js β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ App.test.js β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ index.css β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ index.js β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ logo.svg β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ reportWebVitals.js β”‚ └── setupTests.js β”œβ”€β”€ .gitignore β”œβ”€β”€ package.json β”œβ”€β”€ README.md └── yarn.lock (or package-lock.json) ### Directory and File Description `node_modules/` Contains all project dependencies. This directory is automatically generated by npm or yarn and contains all third-party libraries and modules required for the project to run. `public/` Stores static files. Webpack will not process files in this directory. Files in the `public` directory will be directly copied to the build directory. * `favicon.ico`: The small icon on the browser tab. * `index.html`: The HTML template file, where React components will be mounted to the `div` element. * `logo192.png` and `logo512.png`: React logo icons in different sizes. * `manifest.json`: Web application manifest file, used to define metadata such as the application's name and icon. * `robots.txt`: Used to tell search engines which pages can be crawled. `src/` Stores the application's source code. This is where you mainly do development. * `App.css`: The style file for the `App` component. * `App.js`: The main component file, defines a basic React component. * `App.test.js`: The test file for the `App` component. * `index.css`: Global style file. * `index.js`: The entry file of the application, responsible for rendering React components to the DOM. * `logo.svg`: SVG file for the React logo. * `reportWebVitals.js`: File for performance monitoring, can help you understand and analyze application performance. * `setupTests.js`: File for setting up the test environment. `.gitignore` Lists files and directories that Git should ignore, such as `node_modules/` and build output directories. `package.json` The project's configuration file, contains project information, scripts, dependencies, etc. `README.md` The project's README file, contains basic information and usage instructions about the project. `yarn.lock` **or `package-lock.json`** Lock file, records exact dependency versions to ensure consistent dependency installation across different environments. Try modifying the src/App.js file code: ## src/App.js ```javascript import React, {Component} from 'react'; import logo from './logo.svg'; import './App.css'; class App extends Component { render() { return (

Welcome to

You can src/App.js modify in the file.

); } } export default App; After modification, open http://localhost:3000/ (usually auto-refresh), and the output is as follows: !(#) src/index.js is an entry file. We can try to directly modify the src/index.js file code: > **Note:** In React 18, ReactDOM.render is deprecated. ## Example ```javascript import React from 'react'; import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client'; function Hello(props){ return
