React Module 2

React 2

Outline

In this module, we'll continue learning about React. In this module, you'll be creating an actual application that can generate company names based on user input.

Contrary to the to-do list app we've been creating, this application is more focused on performing an action (generate a name) rather than displaying data. This way, you gain a better understanding of how React can be applied in applications of varying nature.

Centralized state

The focus of this module will be on "centralized state". In the previous module, we would keep our application state within the root App component. This meant that all child components required callbacks (function-type props) to communicate changes. This would quickly become messy.

Redux and MobX are examples of libraries that provide such centralized state. In this module however, we'll be working with a very simple trimmed down version. In Week 1, we'll explain how you can use this system in our application.
