reactjsHow do I create a React.js portal?


Creating a React.js portal requires several steps.

  1. Create a React App:

    npx create-react-app my-app
    cd my-app

    This will create a React application in the my-app directory.

  2. Install React Router:

    npm install react-router-dom

    React Router is a powerful routing library built on top of React, which helps in adding new screens and flows to the React application.

  3. Configure the Router: Create a file called App.js in the src directory and add the following code:

    import React from 'react';
    import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
    
    function App() {
     return (
       <Router>
         <Route path="/" component={Home} />
       </Router>
     );
    }
    
    export default App;

    This configures the router to use the Home component when navigating to the / path.

  4. Create Components: Create a file called Home.js in the src directory and add the following code:

    import React from 'react';
    
    function Home() {
     return <h1>Welcome to the React Portal!</h1>;
    }
    
    export default Home;

    This creates a Home component that will be rendered when navigating to the / path.

  5. Start the App:

    npm start

    This will start the React application and open it in the browser.

Now you have a basic React portal created.
