React concepts like components, JSX, Fragments, props, elements, keys, rendering, state, event Handlers, controlled components, hooks, effects, virtual DOM, refs, context, portals, suspense, and error boundaries may seem overwhelming, but you're going to know every react conecpt by the end of this video so let's break them down, starting right from the basics with components.
Components are like fundamental building blocks in a React app. Think of them as Lego bricks that you can stack and reuse effortlessly. They help us construct visible elements such as loading profile pages, image galleries, and search bars. Combine enough of these and you can make Facebook.
In React, components are essentially JavaScript functions that generate markup. But instead of regular HTML markup, React components employ something called JSX, which is essentially JavaScript pretending to be HTML. JSX simplifies UI creation significantly compared to the traditional createElement function

In React, each component is restricted to returning a single parent element, which can be a bit tricky at times. But never fear, React fragments are here. These are an empty component that doesn't need any additional wrapper elements.
Now, let's discuss the transmission of data between components. We utilize props, or properties, to convey data from one component to another, enhancing the flexibility and reusability of our components.
But here's the interesting thing: props aren't just for basic things like numbers or words; you can also pass other parts of your app as props using the children prop. This helps make your app more complex and gives it the ability to do more interesting things.
Compositions all about organizing React components optimally. The children prop plays a significant role here, especially when making layout components to ensure consistent styling across child elements.
And what about keys? These serve as unique identifiers, helping React distinguish between different components, which is especially useful when handling lists. You'll know when you need to use keys when you get this error in your app.
Now, let's dive into rendering, the process where React transforms our code into actual UI elements. This happens with the assistance of the virtual DOM, a lightweight counterpart of the real DOM that facilitates swift updates.
But how do we manage user interactions? That's where event handling comes into play, enabling us to respond to user actions such as clicks, mouse movements, and key presses.

To govern the dynamic behavior of our React apps, we turn to state. Unlike conventional JavaScript variables, state captures snapshots of our app's data at any given moment, ensuring predictable behavior.
Controlled components, driven by state values, offer a dependable means of managing user input, ensuring that the component's behavior remains synchronized with the underlying state.
Enter hooks, the power tools of React. From managing state with useState to interacting with external systems via useEffect, hooks revolutionize the way we handle logic within functional components.
In the pursuit of simplicity, React components aim to produce the same output for a given input. Strict mode helps us detect potential issues during development.
But what if we need to extend beyond our React app? Enter effects, which empower us to interact with the outside world, be it making HTTP requests or interfacing with browser APIs.
Sometimes, we need to access the DOM directly. Refs provide a convenient means of referencing DOM elements, useful for tasks like focusing inputs.
Now, let's explore context, a powerful tool for passing data through our component tree without the need for manual prop drilling. Context facilitates easy access to data at any level, simplifying data management across nested components.
Portals are similar to context but for components. They allow us to render components outside their parent's DOM hierarchy, perfect for scenarios like modals or tooltips.
Suspense adds a touch of sophistication to handling asynchronous operations, allowing us to manage loading states and lazy component loading seamlessly.
And finally, error boundaries act as the guardians of our app's stability, shielding it from crashing and providing fallback UIs in case of errors.

Bro doing great job. But we also want practical or technical questions which we could practice that can be asked in interviews

[@BoogCodes]

Any specific examples? Entry level? Leet code?

[@uzairtajmat5966]

@@BoogCodes Various examples on useState(), and hooks. And also I am a fresher so don't have that much idea about it. That's the reason I commented on your video. LOVE YOU ❤️
