Why does React exist?
Instagram
Rendering on the server?
Rendering on the client!
Dynamic Interfaces
Dynamic Interfaces ≈ Better UX
Dynamic Interfaces are hard
React makes Dynamic Interfaces easy
How does React work?
React creates components
Render those components on the web, on native, in VR,…
Write once, run anywhere?
⚠ Write once, run anywhere? ⚠
Learn once, write anywhere!
Let’s talk about components

Components in React
React.createElement()
React.createElement('div') // will render this w/ ReactDOM <div></div>
React.createElement('h1') // will render this w/ ReactDOM <h1></h1>
React.createElement('input') // will render this w/ ReactDOM <input></input>
React.createElement('input', { type: 'radio' }) // will render this w/
ReactDOM <input type="radio"></input>
React.createElement('h1') // will render this w/ ReactDOM <h1></h1>
React.createElement('h1', { className: 'heading' }) // will render this w/
ReactDOM <h1 class="heading"></h1>
React.createElement('h1', { className: 'heading' }, 'Hello World') // will render
this w/ ReactDOM <h1 class="heading">Hello World</h1>
React.createElement('div', null, React.createElement('h1', { className: 'heading' }, 'Hello World') )
// will render this w/ ReactDOM <div> <h1 class="heading">Hello World</h1> </div>
React.createElement('div', { className: 'wrapper' }, React.createElement('h1', { className: 'heading' },
'Hello World') ) // will render this w/ ReactDOM <div class="wrapper"> <h1 class="heading">Hello World</h1> </div>
const Wrapper = function (props) { return React.createElement('div', { className:
'wrapper' }) } React.createElement(Wrapper, null, React.createElement('h1', { className: 'heading' }, 'Hello World') ) // will render this w/ ReactDOM <div class="wrapper"> </div>
const Wrapper = function (props) { return React.createElement('div', { className:
'wrapper' }, props.children) } React.createElement(Wrapper, null, React.createElement('h1', { className: 'heading' }, 'Hello World') ) // will render this w/ ReactDOM <div class="wrapper"> <h1 class="heading">Hello World</h1> </div> Component!
Rendering the whole DOM is slow
React Elements are representation of the DOM
React.createElement('h1', { className: 'heading' }, 'Hello World') // will return
something like { type: 'h1', props: { className: 'heading' }, children: ['Hello World'] }
React.createElement(Wrapper, null, React.createElement('h1', { className: 'heading' }, 'Hello World') )
// will return something like { type: Wrapper, props: null, children: [{ type: 'h1', props: { className: 'heading' }, children: ['Hello World'] }] }
Every tick calculate the changes
Every tick calculate the changes (that's quick, because objects)
// Before { type: 'h1', props: { className: 'heading' },
children: ['Hello World'] }
// After { type: 'h1', props: { className: 'heading' },
children: ['This is new'] }
// After { type: 'h1', props: { className: 'heading' },
children: ['This is new'] } // Before { type: 'h1', props: { className: 'heading' }, children: ['Hello World'] }
// After { type: 'h1', props: { className: 'heading' },
children: ['This is new'] } // Before { type: 'h1', props: { className: 'heading' }, children: ['Hello World'] } // What changed?
// After { type: 'h1', props: { className: 'heading' },
children: ['This is new'] } // Before { type: 'h1', props: { className: 'heading' }, children: ['Hello World'] } // What changed?
Only render changes to the DOM!
JSX
const Wrapper = function (props) { return React.createElement('div', { className:
'wrapper' }, props.children) } React.createElement(Wrapper, null, React.createElement('h1', { className: 'heading' }, 'Hello World') ) // will render this w/ ReactDOM <div class="wrapper"> <h1 class="heading">Hello World</h1> </div>
const Wrapper = function (props) { return React.createElement('div', { className:
'wrapper' }, props.children) } React.createElement(Wrapper, null, <h1 className="heading">Hello World</h1> ) // will render this w/ ReactDOM <div class="wrapper"> <h1 class="heading">Hello World</h1> </div>
const Wrapper = function (props) { return <div className="wrapper">{ props.children
}</div> } React.createElement(Wrapper, null, <h1 className="heading">Hello World</h1> ) // will render this w/ ReactDOM <div class="wrapper"> <h1 class="heading">Hello World</h1> </div>
const Wrapper = function (props) { return <div className="wrapper">{ props.children
}</div> } <Wrapper> <h1 className="heading">Hello World</h1> </Wrapper> // will render this w/ ReactDOM <div class="wrapper"> <h1 class="heading">Hello World</h1> </div>
const Wrapper = function (props) { return React.createElement('div', { className:
