15
Terms Every
React
Developer
Should Know
#01
Virtual DOM
The Virtual DOM is a lightweight representation of the
real DOM. React uses it to efficiently update the
UI by only updating the parts of the DOM that
have actually changed.
#02
JSX (JavaScript XML)
JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript that looks
similar to XML or HTML. It allows you to write
HTML-like code within your JavaScript files.
#03
Components
React applications are built using components, which
are reusable, self-contained pieces of UI. Developers
should understand how to create and use
components effectively.
#04
State and Props
State represents the data that a component maintains
and can change over time, while props are used to
pass data from a parent component to a
child component.
#05
Lifecycle hooks
Lifecycle hooks are functions that are called at different
stages of a component's life cycle, such as mounting,
updating, and unmounting.
#06
Higher-order components
(HOCs)
HOCs are functions that take a component as input and
return a new component. They are used to add
functionality to existing components without
modifying their code.
#07
React Router
A popular library for handling routing in React
applications. It allows developers to create a
single-page application with navigation without
the need for page reloads.
#08
Conditional Rendering
The ability to render different components or elements
based on certain conditions or states in your
application.
#09
Lists and Keys
Knowing how to render lists of data efficiently and using
unique keys to help React identify which items have
changed, been added, or been removed.
#10
Event Handling
Managing events in React, such as click events, submit
events, and more, and updating the state or
triggering other actions in response.
#11
Context API
A way to pass data through the component tree without
having to pass props down manually at every level.
#12
State Management (Redux)
Understanding how to manage application state in
larger applications using a state management
library like Redux.
#13
Error Handling (Error
Boundaries)
Utilizing error boundaries to gracefully handle JavaScript
errors anywhere in the component tree.
#14
Testing (Jest and React Testing
Library)
Familiarity with testing frameworks and libraries for
writing unit and integration tests for React
components and applications.
#15
Security
Security is important for all web applications, but it is
especially important for React applications because
they are often popular and targeted by attackers.
There are a number of different things you can do to
improve the security of your React applications,
such as using HTTPS and sanitizing user input.
