Live Coding a Multi-Page Space Tourism Website with React and More – Goal: Reach 500 Subscribers! 🔴

Welcome to this live coding tutorial where we will be building a space tourism multi-page website using React! This tutorial is perfect for beginners and experienced developers alike, as we will be covering everything from setting up our development environment to deploying our website. Our goal is to reach 500 subscribers by the end of this tutorial, so be sure to hit that subscribe button and join our coding community.

In this tutorial, we will be using React, a popular frontend framework that allows us to build dynamic user interfaces efficiently. We will also be using technologies such as CSS for styling our website, and React Router for creating multiple pages within our application.

Before we get started, make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your computer. If you haven’t already, you can download Node.js from the official website and npm will be installed automatically. Once you have Node.js and npm installed, you can create a new React project by running the following command in your terminal:

npx create-react-app space-tourism

This command will create a new React project named "space-tourism" in your current directory. Once the project is created, navigate to the project folder by running the following command:

cd space-tourism

Now that we have our React project set up, let’s start by creating the basic structure of our space tourism website. We will begin by creating a few components that will be used throughout our website. Create a new folder named "components" in the src directory of your project, and inside this folder, create three new files: Header.js, Footer.js, and Home.js.

In Header.js, we will create a simple header component that will display the title of our website. Here’s an example of what the Header.js file might look like:

import React from 'react';

const Header = () => {
  return (
    <header>
      <h1>Space Tourism</h1>
    </header>
  );
};

export default Header;

Next, let’s create the Footer.js file and add a footer component to our website. This component will display some copyright information at the bottom of each page. Here’s an example of what the Footer.js file might look like:

import React from 'react';

const Footer = () => {
  return (
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2022 Space Tourism</p>
    </footer>
  );
};

export default Footer;

Finally, let’s create the Home.js file and add a home component to our website. This component will serve as the homepage of our space tourism website and will contain some introductory text and a button to navigate to other pages. Here’s an example of what the Home.js file might look like:

import React from 'react';

const Home = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Welcome to Space Tourism</h2>
      <p>Experience the wonders of outer space with our exciting space tourism packages!</p>
      <button>Explore Our Tours</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Home;

Now that we have created the basic components for our website, let’s create a new folder named "pages" in the src directory of our project. Inside this folder, create three new files: About.js, Tours.js, and Contact.js.

In each of these files, we will create a new component that will represent a different page of our website. The About.js file might look something like this:

import React from 'react';

const About = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>About Us</h2>
      <p>Learn more about our company and mission to make space tourism accessible to everyone.</p>
    </div>
  );
};

export default About;

Similarly, the Tours.js file might look like this:

import React from 'react';

const Tours = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Our Tours</h2>
      <p>Explore our exciting space tourism packages and book your dream vacation today!</p>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Tours;

And the Contact.js file might look like this:

import React from 'react';

const Contact = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Contact Us</h2>
      <p>Have questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you! Contact us using the form below.</p>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Contact;

Now that we have created the components for our pages, let’s set up React Router to handle navigation between these pages. In the App.js file of our project, import the BrowserRouter and Route components from the react-router-dom package, and import the Header, Footer, Home, About, Tours, and Contact components that we created earlier. Update the App component to look like this:

import React from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import Header from './components/Header';
import Footer from './components/Footer';
import Home from './pages/Home';
import About from './pages/About';
import Tours from './pages/Tours';
import Contact from './pages/Contact';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <Header />
      <Route path="/" component={Home} exact />
      <Route path="/about" component={About} />
      <Route path="/tours" component={Tours} />
      <Route path="/contact" component={Contact} />
      <Footer />
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
};

export default App;

Now, if you run your React project using the npm start command in your terminal, you should see your space tourism website with navigation links to the different pages we created. You can style the components and pages using CSS to make your website look more visually appealing.

In this tutorial, we have covered the basics of building a space tourism multi-page website using React and React Router. We have created components for the header, footer, home, about, tours, and contact pages, and set up React Router to handle navigation between these pages. Feel free to explore more features of React and React Router to further enhance your website.
