Summary

We have done some really good work here! We started out by looking at simple code examples necessary to understand some ReactJS coding concepts such as component state and props, lifecycle methods, and hooks. It is important to understand and internalize the differences between state and props, and stateful and stateless components. A good grasp of those concepts can determine whether your app will run smoothly or not.

After diving into important React concepts and examples, we moved on to actually setting up our app. This is a very exciting moment! We have our foundation, and we are ready to build a real-life social media clone app. In the next chapter, we will get comfortable previewing and debugging our app. We will set up all necessary surfaces, we will add example data, and finally, we will style the app. I can’t wait!
