Implementing Your Solution

1. Component Architecture

Break down your UI into reusable components.

Follow the Single Responsibility Principle: each component should do one thing well.

2. Setting Up Project Structure

Organize your project with a clear folder structure:

src/
components/
pages/
services/
styles/
utils/

3. Using Material-UI

Import and use Material-UI components in your project:

Example: button

The `import Button from '@mui/material/Button’;` line allows you to use the Button component

This button can be used in the return statement as <Button />

import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Button variant="contained">Hello World</Button>
</div>
);
}

4. Version Control with Git

Open GitHub Desktop

Log in to your GutHub account

Select your repository the top left

Open your code by clicking ‘Open in VSCode'

Create branches for each new feature

Regularly commit your changes

For more information: GitHub Documentation

5. Using React

Create a New React Project

In your terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to create your project.

Run the following command to create a new React application. Replace my-first-react-app with your preferred project name.

look into: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app or refer to the Create React App Documentation

npx create-react-app my-first-react-app

Navigate to Your Project Directory

Move into your project directory

cd my-first-react-app
- Start the Development Server
- In the project directory, start the development server by running. This command will open a new browser window/tab with your React app running at http://localhost:3000.

npm start

Understand the Project Structure

Public Folder: Contains the index.html file. This is the entry point for your app.

Src Folder: Contains the React components and styles.

App.js: The main component.

index.js: The entry point for the React application.

Create Your First React Component

Open Your Project in a Code Editor

Use a code editor like VSCode and open the project directory.

Edit the App Component

Open src/App.js and replace the code with the following:

import React from 'react';
import './App.css';
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<header className="App-header">
<h1>Hello, React!</h1>
<p>This is my first React app.</p>
</header>
</div>
);
}

export default App;

Now you can start adding Routes to your project, take a look into: https://www.w3schools.com/react/react_router.asp

Routing of the project could be done as visible here:

Save and View Changes

Save App.js after making changes.

View Changes in Browser

The development server automatically reloads and you should see “Hello, React!” and “This is my first React app.” in your browser.

Add a New Component

Create a New Component File

In the src folder, create a new file named MyComponent.js.

Define the New Component

Add the following code to MyComponent.js:

import React from 'react';
function MyComponent() {
return (
<div>
<h2>This is a new component!</h2>
</div>
);
}
export default MyComponent;
- Import and Use the New Component in App.js
- Open src/App.js and modify it to include MyComponent:

import React from 'react';
import './App.css';
import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<header className="App-header">
<h1>Hello, React!</h1>
<p>This is my first React app.</p>
<MyComponent />
</header>
</div>
);
}
export default App;

Save and View Changes

Save both App.js and MyComponent.js.

View Changes in Browser

The browser will reload, and you should see the new component's content below the original text.
