Absolutely! Here are detailed answers to all your ReactJS questions, including code examples
and clear explanations. If you need even more depth on any topic, just ask!

1. Define ReactJS. How is it different from traditional JavaScript frameworks?

ReactJS is an open-source JavaScript library developed by Facebook for building fast and
interactive user interfaces (UIs) for web and mobile applications. It is component-based,
declarative, and uses a virtual DOM for efficient UI updates.
Differences from Traditional JavaScript Frameworks:

Traditional Frameworks (e.g., AngularJS,

Feature ReactJS
jQuery)

Type Library (focuses on view/UI) Framework (full MVC/MVVM)

DOM Virtual DOM, updates only necessary

Direct/Manual DOM manipulation
Manipulation parts

Two-way data binding (Angular), Manual

Data Binding One-way data binding
(jQuery)

Component
Everything is a reusable component Less modular, often uses templates
Model

Learning Curve Focused, easier for UI devs Broader, more concepts to learn

Performance Highly optimized with virtual DOM Can be slower due to real DOM operations

Example:
In React, you write UI as components:

function HelloWorld() {
return <h1>Hello, World!</h1>;
}

2. What is JSX? How does it differ from HTML?

JSX (JavaScript XML) is a syntax extension for JavaScript used in React to describe UI
structure. It looks like HTML but is actually syntactic sugar for React.createElement() calls.
Differences from HTML:
 JSX is not HTML; it gets compiled to JavaScript.
Uses className instead of class.
Inline styles are objects: <div style={{color: 'red'}}></div>

Can embed JavaScript expressions inside {}.

Self-closing tags are required for empty elements: <img />.

Example:

const name = "React";

const element = <h1 className="header">Hello, {name}!</h1>;

3. What is a component in ReactJS? Explain with an example. Also define 'state' in

ReactJS. Why is it important?
Component:
A reusable, independent piece of UI. Components can be functional or class-based.
Example (Functional):

function Greeting(props) {
return <h1>Hello, {props.name}!</h1>;
}

State:
A built-in object for storing dynamic data that affects rendering. When state changes, the
component re-renders.
Importance:
Allows interactive, dynamic UIs.
Isolated to the component, making UI predictable.
Example (Class):

class Counter extends React.Component {

constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { count: 0 };
}
increment = () => this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 });
render() {
return <button onClick={this.increment}>{this.state.count}</button>;
}
}
4. What are props in ReactJS? Mention any two use cases. Also give the
differences between state and props in React.
Props:
Short for "properties", props are read-only data passed from parent to child components.
Use Cases:
1. Passing data: Send user info from a parent to a profile child.
2. Event handling: Pass a callback function to a child for event handling.
State vs Props:

Feature Props State

Mutability Immutable (read-only) Mutable (can be changed)

Ownership Passed from parent Owned by the component

Usage Configure child components Store local data

Update Set by parent Set by component itself

5. Define ReactJS. How is it different from traditional JavaScript frameworks?

Answered in Q1. See above.

6. What are the steps to set up a ReactJS environment using Node.js and npm?
1. Install Node.js (includes npm)
2. Install create-react-app (optional, but recommended)
npm install -g create-react-app

3. Create a new React project

npx create-react-app my-app

4. Navigate to your project directory

cd my-app

5. Run the development server

npm start
7. How do you install Node.js and NPM for ReactJS development? Outline the
basic steps to create and run a ReactJS application.
Installation:
Download Node.js from nodejs.org.
Install (npm comes bundled).
Create and Run React App:

npx create-react-app my-app

cd my-app
npm start

This opens your app at http://localhost:3000.

8. How do you install create-react-app and start a new project?

Install globally (optional):

npm install -g create-react-app

Create a new app:

npx create-react-app my-app

cd my-app
npm start

9. What is the role of create-react-app in setting up a ReactJS project? How do

you configure a React development server and why is it important?
Role of create-react-app:
Sets up a modern React project with zero configuration.
Provides webpack, Babel, ESLint, hot reloading, and more.
Handles build optimization and asset management.
Development Server:
npm start launches a local dev server (usually on port 3000).
Features hot reloading, error overlays, and fast refresh.
Importance:
Fast feedback loop for developers.
Simplifies setup, so you can focus on coding.
10. Describe how to read and update the state in a class component.
Reading State:

class Example extends React.Component {

constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { value: 0 };
}
render() {
return <div>{this.state.value}</div>;
}
}

Updating State:

increment = () => {
this.setState({ value: this.state.value + 1 });
};

Use this.setState() to update state.

Never modify state directly (this.state.value = ... is wrong).

11. How does ReactJS improve code optimization and performance? Mention key
strategies.
Virtual DOM: Only updates changed parts.
Component-based architecture: Enables code splitting and reusability.
Reconciliation: Efficient diffing algorithm.
Memoization: React.memo and useMemo prevent unnecessary renders.
Lazy Loading: React.lazy and Suspense for code splitting.
PureComponent/shouldComponentUpdate: Prevents re-render if props/state don't
change.
Keyed lists: Helps React identify changed elements in lists.

12. Differentiate between controlled and uncontrolled components in ReactJS.

Aspect Controlled Component Uncontrolled Component

Form Data Managed by React state Managed by the DOM

Access
Value Via state (value={state}) Via ref (ref={inputRef})

<input value={value} onChange=

Example <input ref={inputRef} />
{...}/>
 Aspect Controlled Component Uncontrolled Component

Simple forms, integration with non-React

Use Case Validation, instant feedback
code

Controlled Example:

const [value, setValue] = useState('');

<input value={value} onChange={e => setValue(e.target.value)} />

Uncontrolled Example:

const inputRef = useRef();

<input ref={inputRef} />

13. Explain the need for Redux in a React application with an example scenario.
Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps.
Why Redux?
Manages global state in large apps.
Avoids "prop drilling" (passing data through many layers).
Centralizes state, making debugging easier.
Example Scenario:
In a shopping cart app, the cart state must be accessible from product pages, cart summary,
and checkout. Redux allows all components to access and update the cart state without passing
props through many levels.

14. Write a complete React application that demonstrates the use of state and
props. Include component communication.

// App.js
import React, { useState } from 'react';

function Child({ count, increment }) {

return (
<div>
<p>Count: {count}</p>
<button onClick={increment}>Increase</button>
</div>
);
}

function App() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
 <div>
<h1>Counter App</h1>
<Child count={count} increment={() => setCount(count + 1)} />
</div>
);
}

export default App;

App holds the state.

Child receives state and a function as props.

15. Explain the architecture of a Redux-based React application. Illustrate with a

sample counter app.
Architecture:
Store: Holds app state.
Actions: Describe state changes.
Reducers: Specify how state changes.
Dispatch: Sends actions to the store.
Provider: Makes store available to components.
Sample Counter App:

// actions.js
export const increment = () => ({ type: 'INCREMENT' });

// reducer.js
const initialState = { count: 0 };
export default function reducer(state = initialState, action) {
switch (action.type) {
case 'INCREMENT': return { count: state.count + 1 };
default: return state;
}
}

// store.js
import { createStore } from 'redux';
import reducer from './reducer';
export const store = createStore(reducer);

// App.js
import React from 'react';
import { Provider, useSelector, useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
import { store } from './store';
import { increment } from './actions';

function Counter() {
const count = useSelector(state => state.count);
const dispatch = useDispatch();
 return (
<div>
<p>{count}</p>
<button onClick={() => dispatch(increment())}>+</button>
</div>
);
}

function App() {
return (
<Provider store={store}>
<Counter />
</Provider>
);
}

16. Describe the full setup of a ReactJS environment from Node.js installation to
running a component.
1. Download and install Node.js from nodejs.org.
2. Verify installation:
node -v
npm -v

3. Create React app:

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app

4. Run development server:

npm start

5. Edit src/App.js to add your component:

function MyComponent() {
return <h2>Hello from MyComponent!</h2>;
}
export default MyComponent;

17. How can you handle events in ReactJS? Provide an example. How do you
communicate between sibling components in ReactJS?
Event Handling Example:

function Button() {
function handleClick() {
alert('Button clicked!');
 }
return <button onClick={handleClick}>Click me</button>;
}

Sibling Communication:
Use the parent to mediate:

function Parent() {
const [data, setData] = useState('');
return (
<>
<SiblingA sendData={setData} />
<SiblingB receivedData={data} />
</>
);
}
function SiblingA({ sendData }) {
return <button onClick={() => sendData('Hello')}>Send to B</button>;
}
function SiblingB({ receivedData }) {
return <div>Received: {receivedData}</div>;
}

18. What are the various ways to share data between parent and child
components in React?
1. Props: Pass data/functions from parent to child.
2. Callback functions: Pass a function to child; child calls it to send data up.
3. Context API: Share data globally without prop drilling.
4. State management libraries: Use Redux, MobX, etc.

19. How does React handle component re-rendering and state updates? Provide
code examples.
When state/props change, React triggers a re-render.
Only affected components are re-rendered (thanks to virtual DOM diffing).
Example:

function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</button>;
}

Clicking the button updates state, causing React to re-render the component.
20. Create a React component that receives a list of data through props and
displays it dynamically. Include the use of map() and keys.

function UserList({ users }) {

return (
<ul>
{users.map(user => (
<li key={user.id}>{user.name}</li>
))}
</ul>
);
}

// Usage:
<UserList users={[{id: 1, name: 'Alice'}, {id: 2, name: 'Bob'}]} />

21. What is Redux and why is it used in React applications? Also explain the core
concepts of Redux: Store, Actions, Reducers, and Dispatch.
Redux:
A predictable state container for JavaScript apps.
Why Use Redux?
Centralizes application state.
Makes state changes predictable and debuggable.
Useful for large apps with complex state needs.
Core Concepts:
Store: Holds the app state.
Actions: Plain objects describing state changes.
Reducers: Pure functions that update state based on actions.
Dispatch: Sends actions to the store.

22. How do you connect a React component to Redux using connect()?

import { connect } from 'react-redux';

function MyComponent({ count, increment }) {

return <button onClick={increment}>{count}</button>;
}

const mapStateToProps = state => ({ count: state.count });

const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => ({
increment: () => dispatch({ type: 'INCREMENT' })
});
 export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(MyComponent);

23. Task Management Dashboard: Which components should be functional or

class components? Justify.
Header: Functional (stateless, just displays title/user info)
TaskList: Functional (receives tasks as props, maps over them)
TaskItem: Functional (displays a single task)
TaskForm: Class or functional with hooks (if needs local state for form fields)
Justification:
Use functional components for presentational, stateless parts. Use class components (or
functional with hooks) when local state or lifecycle methods are needed.

24. Infinite Scrolling Social Media Feed: How to implement and manage state,
errors, and loading?
State: Use useState for posts, loading, error.
Infinite Scroll: Listen for scroll events or use a library (e.g., react-infinite-scroll-
component).

Loading/Error Handling: Show spinner/message as needed.

Example:

const [posts, setPosts] = useState([]);

const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);

useEffect(() => {
fetchMorePosts();
}, []);

function fetchMorePosts() {
setLoading(true);
fetch('/api/posts')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(newPosts => setPosts([...posts, ...newPosts]))
.catch(err => setError(err.message))
.finally(() => setLoading(false));
}

Show loading spinner when loading is true.

Show error message if error is not null.
25. Five best practices for writing optimized code in React.js
1. Use keys in lists: Helps React track elements.
2. Use React.memo and useMemo: Prevent unnecessary renders.
3. Code splitting: Use React.lazy and Suspense.
4. Avoid inline functions in render: Can cause unnecessary re-renders.
5. Use functional components and hooks: Simpler and more efficient than class components.
Example:

const MemoizedComponent = React.memo(function MyComp(props) { ... });

26. How does Redux help in state management of large-scale applications?

Advantages over traditional React state.
Centralizes state: All state in one store.
Predictable updates: Only reducers can change state.
Debuggable: Time-travel debugging, logging.
Easier testing: Pure functions for reducers.
Avoids prop drilling: Components access state directly.

27. How can you optimize performance in a React app using memoization and lazy
loading? Explain with code snippets.
Memoization:

const MemoizedList = React.memo(function List({ items }) { ... });

useMemo:

const expensiveValue = useMemo(() => computeExpensive(data), [data]);

Lazy Loading:

const LazyComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./LazyComponent'));

<Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
<LazyComponent />
</Suspense>
