Creating a React Component
To create a React component, you need to define a function or class that returns JSX (JavaScript XML) code. JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript that allows you to write HTML-like code within your JavaScript files.
Here is an example of creating a basic React component:
1import React from 'react';
2
3function MyComponent() {
4 return (
5 <div>
6 <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
7 <p>This is my first React component.</p>
8 </div>
9 );
10}
11
12export default MyComponent;
In this example, we define a function called MyComponent
that returns a JSX code block. The JSX code describes the structure and content of the component. In this case, our component consists of a div
element with an h1
heading and a p
paragraph.
To render this component in your application, you can import and use it like any other React component:
1import React from 'react';
2import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
3
4function App() {
5 return (
6 <div>
7 <h1>My React App</h1>
8 <MyComponent />
9 </div>
10 );
11}
12
13export default App;
In this example, we import the MyComponent
component and use it within the App
component by including <MyComponent />
in the JSX code.
Congratulations! You have created your first React component and rendered it in your application.

// Replace with relevant code for creating a React component
import React from 'react';
function MyComponent() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>This is my first React component.</p>
</div>
);
}
export default MyComponent;
