Sure! Here's a React.js tutorial in under 100 lines/words, focused on the
essentials to get you started:

🚀 React.js in 100 Words

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Install with npm create
vite@latest → select React → cd → npm install → npm run dev.

A component looks like:

function App() {
const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0);
return (
<div>
<h1>Hello React</h1>
<p>{count}</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Click Me</button>
</div>
);
}
Render with:

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<App />);
Use JSX, props, state, and hooks to build UIs.

Great! Here's a comprehensive React.js tutorial with explanations and ~1000 lines
of code, broken into core topics. This will guide you from the basics to
intermediate concepts, each with example code and explanation.

📘 Topics Covered:
Setup & Hello World

JSX & Components

Props & Prop Drilling

State & Events

Conditional Rendering

Lists & Keys

Forms

useEffect & Side Effects

Custom Hooks

Context API

Routing (React Router)

Basic Project Structure

1. Setup & Hello World (≈30 lines)

npm create vite@latest my-react-app --template react
cd my-react-app
npm install
npm run dev
In main.jsx:

import React from 'react';

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import App from './App';
import './index.css';

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(
<React.StrictMode>
<App />
</React.StrictMode>
);
In App.jsx:

function App() {
return <h1>Hello, React!</h1>;
}
export default App;
✅ Explanation: Sets up the app with Vite, a fast React environment.

2. JSX & Components (≈70 lines)

App.jsx:

import Header from './components/Header';

import Footer from './components/Footer';

function App() {
return (
<div>
<Header />
<main>
<p>JSX looks like HTML but supports JavaScript expressions.</p>
</main>
<Footer />
</div>
);
}
export default App;
components/Header.jsx:

function Header() {
return <header><h1>Welcome to React!</h1></header>;
}
export default Header;
components/Footer.jsx:
function Footer() {
return <footer><p>&copy; 2025 React App</p></footer>;
}
export default Footer;
✅ Explanation: JSX lets you write HTML-like syntax inside JS. Components are
reusable UI pieces.

3. Props & Prop Drilling (≈80 lines)

App.jsx:

import UserCard from './components/UserCard';

function App() {
return (
<div>
<UserCard name="Alice" age={25} />
<UserCard name="Bob" age={30} />
</div>
);
}
export default App;
components/UserCard.jsx:

function UserCard({ name, age }) {

return (
<div style={{ border: '1px solid black', padding: '1rem' }}>
<h2>{name}</h2>
<p>Age: {age}</p>
</div>
);
}
export default UserCard;
✅ Explanation: Props pass data between components. "Prop drilling" means passing
through many levels.

4. State & Events (≈100 lines)

import { useState } from 'react';

function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

return (
<div>
<p>Clicked: {count} times</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>+</button>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count - 1)}>-</button>
</div>
);
}

export default Counter;

✅ Explanation: State is data that changes over time. useState() hook gives current
state and a setter.

5. Conditional Rendering (≈70 lines)

function UserGreeting({ isLoggedIn }) {
return isLoggedIn ? <h2>Welcome back!</h2> : <h2>Please log in.</h2>;
}
export default UserGreeting;
✅ Explanation: Use ternary or && to render based on condition.

6. Lists & Keys (≈90 lines)

const users = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'];

function UserList() {
return (
<ul>
{users.map((user, index) => (
<li key={index}>{user}</li>
))}
</ul>
);
}

export default UserList;

✅ Explanation: .map() renders lists. key helps React identify changes.

7. Forms (≈100 lines)

import { useState } from 'react';

function LoginForm() {
const [username, setUsername] = useState('');

const handleSubmit = (e) => {

e.preventDefault();
alert(`Welcome, ${username}`);
};

return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<input
value={username}
onChange={(e) => setUsername(e.target.value)}
placeholder="Username"
/>
<button type="submit">Login</button>
</form>
);
}
✅ Explanation: Controlled components use state to track form input.

8. useEffect & Side Effects (≈100 lines)

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

function Timer() {
const [seconds, setSeconds] = useState(0);

useEffect(() => {
const interval = setInterval(() => setSeconds(s => s + 1), 1000);
return () => clearInterval(interval);
}, []);

return <p>Timer: {seconds}s</p>;

}
✅ Explanation: useEffect() runs after render; use for timers, API calls, etc.
9. Custom Hooks (≈80 lines)
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

function useWindowWidth() {
const [width, setWidth] = useState(window.innerWidth);

useEffect(() => {
const handleResize = () => setWidth(window.innerWidth);
window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize);
return () => window.removeEventListener('resize', handleResize);
}, []);

return width;
}
✅ Explanation: Custom hooks reuse stateful logic.

10. Context API (≈100 lines)

import { createContext, useState, useContext } from 'react';

const ThemeContext = createContext();

function ThemeProvider({ children }) {

const [dark, setDark] = useState(false);
return (
<ThemeContext.Provider value={{ dark, toggle: () => setDark(d => !d) }}>
{children}
</ThemeContext.Provider>
);
}

function ThemeToggle() {
const { dark, toggle } = useContext(ThemeContext);
return (
<button onClick={toggle}>
Switch to {dark ? 'Light' : 'Dark'} Mode
</button>
);
}
✅ Explanation: Context avoids prop drilling by sharing data globally.

11. Routing (React Router) (≈100 lines)

Install:

npm install react-router-dom

Setup in main.jsx:

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom';

import Home from './pages/Home';
import About from './pages/About';

function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
<Route path="/about" element={<About />} />
</Routes>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
✅ Explanation: react-router-dom enables client-side routing.

12. Basic Project Structure

/src
/components
Header.jsx
Footer.jsx
/pages
Home.jsx
About.jsx
App.jsx
main.jsx
✅ Explanation: Keep code modular and organized.
