Modifying the code
1. open App.js
You should see the pre-included code
import React from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<header className="App-header">
<img src={logo} className="App-logo" alt="logo" />
<p>
Edit <code>src/App.js</code> and save to reload.
</p>
<a
className="App-link"
href="https://reactjs.org"
target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
>
Learn React
</a>
</header>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
2. replace everything with just this
import React from 'react';
const App = () => {
return <h1>Hello World!</h1>
}
export default App;
3. Save the file
4. Open the terminal in this directory and run
npm start
5. Now open your web browser and go to this link http://localhost:3000/. You should see something like this
Hurray 🥳 You have edited your own ReactJS application. Pat your back and get ready for even more action.
Note -
function App () {
}
and
const App = () => {
}
Are both valid ways of defining a function in JavaScript ES6. For this series we will be using the second method also called as "fat arrow" method as it provides some additional benefits over simple functions.
