Coding has exploded in popularity over the past few years, with more and more people looking to learn how to code and develop their own websites, applications, and software. One of the most popular frameworks for web development is ReactJS, which is a JavaScript library developed by Facebook for building user interfaces. In this tutorial, we will show you how to use ReactJS with ViteJS to create a simple short video trending website.
What you will need:
- Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- Node.js installed on your computer
- A code editor like VS Code
Step 1: Set up your project
First, create a new folder for your project and open it in your code editor. Open a terminal window in your code editor and run the following command to initialize a new Node.js project:
npm init -y
Next, install ViteJS by running the following command:
npm install vite
Create a new React app by running the following command:
npx create-react-app .
Step 2: Create components
Create a new folder called components
in the src
directory of your project. Inside this folder, create a new file called Video.js
and add the following code:
import React from 'react';
const Video = ({ title, url }) => {
return (
<div>
<h2>{title}</h2>
<video controls>
<source src={url} type="video/mp4" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</div>
);
};
export default Video;
Step 3: Create a mock data file
Create a new folder called data
in the src
directory of your project. Inside this folder, create a new file called videos.js
and add the following code:
const videos = [
{ title: 'Video 1', url: 'video1.mp4' },
{ title: 'Video 2', url: 'video2.mp4' },
{ title: 'Video 3', url: 'video3.mp4' },
];
export default videos;
Step 4: Display videos in App component
Modify the App.js
file in the src
directory of your project to import the Video
component and display the videos:
import React from 'react';
import Video from './components/Video';
import videos from './data/videos';
const App = () => {
return (
<div>
{videos.map((video, index) => (
<Video key={index} title={video.title} url={video.url} />
))}
</div>
);
};
export default App;
Step 5: Run your project
Start your Vite server by running the following command in your terminal window:
npm run dev
Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000
to see your short video trending website in action.
Congratulations! You have successfully created a simple short video trending website using ReactJS with ViteJS. This is just a basic example, but you can extend it further by adding more features such as a search bar, pagination, and user authentication. Happy coding!
