Udemy - React course notes

ReactExamples

I take notes on the React course on Udemy by Max. I only write down things that I deem important.

Where are the examples?

Go into a folder (like /section2) and there will be a README.md with all the notes.

How do I run code?

To run .js files, you can either:

1. Run them on your browser (browsers come with an engine for running .js files, but you will need to setup an HTML document).
2. Use Node.js! (which is what I do).

Using Node.js to run .js files

1. Go to https://nodejs.org/en/ and download the LTS (long term support) version.
2. In your proejct folder type npm init (npm or node package manager helps setup your project) and enter all the details (or spam your Enter key).
3. Add "type": "module" to the package.json. See package.json in this project if you need an example. Adding this is needed for running ES6 module stuff.
4. Make sure you're in the right folder with the .js file you want to run. Use cd <directory> to move directories or cd .. to go back.
5. Run node my_file.js in your terminal and voila!
