## Chapter 1: React Fundamentals Review {#chapter-1}
### Components
React applications are built from components.
#### Function Components
```jsx
function Welcome(props) {
return
Hello, {props.name}
;
}
// With destructuring
function Welcome({ name, email }) {
return (
Hello, {name}
Email: {email}
);
}
```
#### Class Components
```jsx
class Welcome extends React.Component {
render() {
return
Hello, {this.props.name}
;
}
}
```
Function components are preferred in modern React (use Hooks instead of class lifecycle).
### JSX
JSX looks like HTML but is JavaScript:
```jsx
// JSX
const element =
Hello, World!
;
// Compiles to:
const element = React.createElement('h1', null, 'Hello, World!');
```
### Props vs State
#### Props
- Read-only data passed from parent to child
- Cannot be modified by the child
- Use for passing configuration
```jsx
```
#### State
- Mutable data owned by a component
- Can be updated with setState (or setState Hook)
- Causes re-render when changed
### Virtual DOM
React's efficiency secret:
1. Update Virtual DOM (fast, in-memory)
2. Diff with previous Virtual DOM
3. Update actual DOM (slow operation) only where needed
4. Re-render component

## Chapter 2: Hooks Deep Dive {#chapter-2}
### useState
Manage component state:
```jsx
function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
Count: {count}
);
}
```
Multiple state values:
```jsx
const [name, setName] = useState('');
const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
const [age, setAge] = useState(null);
```
State batching (React 18+):
```jsx
function handleClick() {
// Both updates are batched
setCount(c => c + 1);
setFlagStatus(f => !f);
// Only one re-render!
}
```
### useEffect
Handle side effects:
```jsx
useEffect(() => {
// This runs after every render
console.log('Component rendered');
});
useEffect(() => {
// This runs once on mount
console.log('Component mounted');
}, []); // Empty dependency array
useEffect(() => {
// This runs when deps change
console.log('Dependencies changed');
}, [dependency1, dependency2]);
```
Cleanup function:
```jsx
useEffect(() => {
const subscription = data.subscribe();
return () => {
// Cleanup on unmount
subscription.unsubscribe();
};
}, []);
```
### useReducer
Complex state management:
```jsx
const initialState = { count: 0 };
function reducer(state, action) {
switch(action.type) {
case 'INCREMENT':
return { count: state.count + 1 };
case 'DECREMENT':
return { count: state.count - 1 };
case 'RESET':
return initialState;
default:
return state;
}
}
function Counter() {
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState);
return (
Count: {state.count}
);
}
```
### useContext
Access context without nesting:
```jsx
// Create context
const ThemeContext = React.createContext('light');
// Provide
// Consume
function MyComponent() {
const theme = useContext(ThemeContext);
return
;
};
// With children
interface Props {
children: React.ReactNode;
}
function Container({ children }: Props) {
return
{children}
;
}
```

## Chapter 10: Real-World Application {#chapter-10}
Build a complete todo application with:
- Multiple components
- State management
- API integration
- Local storage
- Error handling
- Loading states
This ties everything together into a production-ready application.
