In front end web development it is impossible to NOT to come across a library called “React.js”.

React.js

1. React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces (UI).

type “cmd” in the location bar

3. “Create-react-app”

On cmd type “create-react-app” followed by the name of the folder to work on.

4. By doing so the downloading takes place which is a bit time taking. Once it’s done, you’ll be displayed with happy hacking message!

5. Now go to your named folder, “first” as it is for me here.

6. You can now work on your first react app by either editing it on VS code or you can directly start your application by “npm start”.

npm start

7. Your app is now available on your local host, and it will look like this:

Your first react application is created. There’s still more in plate for react, we’ll proceed to other cool projects in react. Stay tuned for the next blog!
