Understanding the Core Concept of React: Components
React and its ecosystem provides numerous powerful features and concepts that enable developers to build efficient and scalable applications. However, if there is one fundamental concept that every React developer must master, it is the idea of working with Components.
The Role of Components in React
Components are the building blocks of any React application. As a React developer, you will create and combine components to build user interfaces. These components are potentially reusable, allowing you to construct a modular and maintainable codebase.
In the image below, you can see food products with similar traits — such as price and image. We can prepare the UI once and reuse it, ideally using a for loop with pre-prepared data.
The notion of thinking about user interfaces as a combination of components is not unique to React; many modern UI frameworks follow a similar approach.
