Code A React Website Tutorial | ReactJS Tutorial For Beginners
Welcome to our ReactJS tutorial for beginners, where we will walk you through the process of coding a React website from scratch. ReactJS is a popular JavaScript library used for building user interfaces, and it has gained significant popularity due to its ease of use and performance. Whether you are new to web development or have some experience, this tutorial will help you understand the basics of ReactJS and guide you in building your first React website.
Prerequisites
Before we start, make sure you have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Familiarity with these languages will make it easier to grasp the concepts discussed in this tutorial.
Setting up the Development Environment
The first step in building a React website is setting up the development environment. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Install Node.js: React uses Node.js for its development environment. Head to the official Node.js website and download the latest stable version.
- Create a new directory for your project: Open your command prompt or terminal and navigate to the desired location. Use the following command to create a new directory:
mkdir react-website - Navigate into the project directory: Use the following command to navigate into the newly created directory:
cd react-website - Initialize a new Node.js project: Run the following command to initialize a new Node.js project:
npm init. It will guide you through the process of setting up your project. - Install React and React DOM: Run the following command to install React and React DOM:
npm install react react-dom
Building the React Website
Once you have set up the development environment, we can start building our React website. Here are the steps to follow:
- Create a new file named
index.htmlin the root directory of your project. - Add the necessary HTML structure to the
index.htmlfile. For example: - Create a new file named
App.jsin the root directory of your project. - In the
App.jsfile, add the following code to create a basic React component: - Create a new file named
index.jsin the root directory of your project. - In the
index.jsfile, add the following code to render the React component: - Run the development server: Open your command prompt or terminal, navigate to the project directory, and run the following command:
npm start. This will start the development server and open your React website in your default browser.

I hope I can be able to do something so good soon
Brian need some help in understanding. I created a website on for example a Wix type platform. I was trying to implement a paypal subscription setup for payment, and it was not working. So I hired someone, and they said it was impossible for the paypal subscription to be done because the Wix type platform was limited and Wix only lets users needs go but so far. The guy i hired recommended he build me a React website and that he would deploy the React website on AWS. Here is the problem, everytime I need something done to the website I have to contact him. And obviously that will cost money for every little thing. I told him its not right that i don't have complete access to the website that i paid him for. He said he would create me a admin login so that i can do things like add products, edit text, add pictures. I told him that works but to setup the admin that I would have full access to the code. He said that is not possible. Is he lying? I mean how can I own my own website but not have access to the full code. What happens if this guy gets hit by a car and dies, what then? How will I be able to get full access to my website? How about if I wanted to hire someone to add a Carousel Slideshow, and the person I hired needed access to the code, If i don't have access to the code, how can the person I hired have access? I feel like i have no control over my website, and if i ever had a serious problem with this guy he could easily remove the website from the web and screw me over. I am sure as you are reading you already have an idea of whats going on and what I need to say to this guy. Help please,
Some stuff changed
I was struggling trying to use Switch, and the code that worked for me is like this
import './App.css';
import {BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Routes} from 'react-router-dom';
import Home from './pages/Home';
import Menu from './pages/Menu';
import About from './pages/About';
import Contact from './pages/Contact';
import Navbar from './components/Navbar';
import Footer from './components/Footer';
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<Router>
<Navbar />
<Routes>
<Route path='/' element={<Home />} />
<Route path='/menu' element={<Menu />} />
<Route path='/about' element={<About />} />
<Route path='/contact' element={<Contact />} />
</Routes>
<Footer />
</Router>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
