Understanding Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is crucial in the field of web development, especially when dealing with large-scale projects that require long-term maintenance. However, in modern React development, the use of classes is discouraged. This article explores how to apply and leverage OOP concepts in the context of React.
Basic Principles of OOP and Examples in React:
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a software development methodology that structures code as a collection of objects, entities consisting of data and methods. Key concepts in OOP include:
Class
A class serves as a template for creating objects. For instance, a “Car” class can define the properties and behaviors that all cars should have.
Object
An object is an instance of a class, containing actual data and methods. Objects like “BMW 3 Series” or “Hyundai Elantra” can be created from the “Car” class.
Translating these concepts to React, consider the following example:
const Car = ({ make, model }) => {
return (
<div>
<h2>Car Details</h2>
<p>Make: {make}</p>
<p>Model: {model}</p>
</div>
);
}
const App = () => {
// "BMW 3" object…
