What is JavaScript 



 JavaScript is the programming language of HTML and the Web.

 It is often abbreviated as JS, is a high-level, interpreted programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification

 This enables interactive web pages thus it is an essential part of web applications. 

The vast majority of websites use it, and all major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it.

Features of JavaScript
  • JavaScript is a single threaded language.
  • An object-based scripting language.
  • Giving the user more control over the browser.
  • It Handling dates and time.
  • It Detecting the user's browser and OS,
  • It is light weighted.
  • JavaScript is a scripting language and it is not java.
  • JavaScript is interpreter based scripting language.
Most popular JavaScript Frameworks

Selecting from amongst even the most popular JavaScript frameworks for a new project can be a challenging process.

Nonetheless, it is essential to find the correct platform for your app to be built around.

Popularity may not be an indicator of what is best for your project, but taking a look at the most popular selections may give you some ideas for something that fits your project requirements
  1. React JS

React JS is a framework that was originally created and is maintained, by Facebook. This provides a huge weight on the scales when choosing it for a project. It gives React a sense of stability that many new frameworks lack.


 My thoughts on React JS:

React is a great framework and a great tool. For any large, comprehensive project, it’s almost a shoo-in for usage. The biggest worry I would have as a developer adopting React is the exact same thing that makes it such a smashing success - Facebook. There have been worries about the terms of use for React, as well as Facebook’s ability to stop updates or change the licensing. This may seem too paranoid to be a show-stopper for some, but for others, it may be the reason why their project does not adapt to React as their frontend framework.

    2. Angular JS

Angular is the powerhouse that sits next to React at the top of the charts for JavaScript frameworks. Angular 2+ has had literally years of development behind it, and Angular.js was representative of a lot of lessons that aided the development of Angular 2 and future versions.

My thoughts on Angular JS2:

My thoughts on Angular 2 are very similar to my thoughts on React. If a user needs a large, feature-filled platform, it’d be hard to go wrong with Angular 2. There’s a ton of useful content here. Conversely, you have to accept the heavier weight of this platform and the fact that it’s mostly maintained by a powerhouse company like Google, who could, in theory, stop supporting it any time, although that seems very unlikely.


     3. Vue JS

Vue is growing into maturity, being now several years old, but is still looked at as a new player in the JavaScript framework scene. The growth of the Vue community is stellar.

My thoughts on Vue JS:

It’s my go-to recommendation for people just getting started with JavaScript frameworks, or who need something lightweight for a project. It doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles of some of the more prominent contenders, but you don’t always need them. It’s less fully featured, but that also makes it less restrictive.

There are some other JavaScript Frameworks as well
  • Mithril.js
  • Polymer
  • Aurelia.js
  • Backbone.js
  • Ember.js
  • Meteor.js

Conclusion:


So at the end of the day, the question is: Which JavaScript framework should I use for my project? The answer, of course, is as complicated as ever.

 My personal favorite is Vue.js, out of those selected here. The real answer, though, is entirely project-specific. Do you need the most popular JavaScript framework? Probably not. How about the largest and most expansive, or the smallest and lightest? These factors may or may not matter.
In any case, this set of frameworks should give any developer at least a recommendation or two that meet their needs and get to building their frontend application.

Creating a REACT component

Every React app is built out of components You may have one single component in a simple app or a number of components in something more complex. Simple React components can just render a static (hardcoded) HTML markup can be dynamically rendered based on a locally saved JSON data can be nested into each other to create a more complex app layout can be rendered based on a data  provided by a parent component  The simplest React component just renders a bit of HTML markup Complex React components A more complex React components might have more logic inside of them, but at the end of the day, they are also just rendering a bit of HTML markup on the page. can include advanced logic that defines what the returned HTML will look like can contain its own state  can contain lifecycle methods  can include custom methods that will be executed when a user clicks on a button for example Stateless components vs Class components Simple (stateless)...
