Create Form in React JS from Scratch
React JS is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It provides a powerful way to create interactive and dynamic web applications. In this article, we will learn how to create a form in React JS from scratch.
Step 1: Set up your development environment
Before we start creating our form in React JS, we need to set up our development environment. Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your computer. You can install them by visiting https://nodejs.org/. Once installed, open your terminal and type the following command to create a new React project:
npx create-react-app my-form-app
This will create a new folder called my-form-app with all the necessary files and dependencies for a React project.
Step 2: Create the form component
Now that our development environment is set up, we can start creating the form component. Navigate to the src folder in your project and create a new file called Form.js. In this file, we will define the form component using React JSX syntax.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
class Form extends Component {
render() {
return (
);
}
}
export default Form;
Step 3: Use the form component in your app
Now that we have created the form component, we can use it in our main app component. Open the App.js file in the src folder and import the form component at the top of the file.
import React from 'react';
import './App.css';
import Form from './Form';
function App() {
return (
My Form App
);
}
export default App;
Step 4: Run your app
With the form component now being used in our main app, we can run the React development server to see our form in action. In the terminal, navigate to the root folder of your project and run the following command:
npm start
This will start the development server and open your form app in a new browser window. You should now see the form rendered on the page and can begin entering data into the form fields.
With these four simple steps, you have successfully created a form in React JS from scratch. You can now customize the form by adding additional form fields, validation, and handling form submissions with React’s state and lifecycle methods.
