Il existe dans le monde de React deux façons d'écrire des composants React. L'une utilise une fonction, et l'autre une classe. Les composants fonctionnels sont devenus ces derniers temps de plus en plus populaires, mais comment l'expliquer ?
Grâce à cet article expliquant pas à pas chacun d'eux à travers des exemples de code, vous comprendrez les différences entre composants fonctionnels et composants de classe et pourrez vous plonger dans le monde du React moderne !
Produire le rendu d'éléments JSX
Avant toute chose, la grande différence, c'est la syntaxe. Comme son nom l'indique, un composant fonctionnel n'est qu'une simple fonction JavaScript qui renvoie du JSX. Un composant de classe, pour sa part, est une classe JavaScript qui étend React.Component, laquelle comprend une méthode de rendu. Vous trouvez ça déroutant ? Prenons un exemple simple.
import React from "react";
const FunctionalComponent = () => {
return <h1>Hello, world</h1>;
}; …

One of the brightest spots in the future of communication-based apps is the ability to create real-time communication between various devices. Document apps such as Google Docs, Notion, and even iOS Notes are made possible due to the ability to synchronize state and data in real-time.
Twilio Sync makes this same functionality possible by offering two-way, real-time communication between browsers, mobile devices, and the cloud.
In this tutorial, we're going to use this state synchronization service to create a real-time note collaboration tool using Twilio Sync. When completed, all users will be able to co-browse the same notepad and type a document together in real-time.
If you’re still not clear on what Sync does, consider that I wrote this tutorial in Notion. Their synchronization service allowed me to seamlessly switch between my phone and their desktop app without revision conflict. This is the power of real-time synchronization!
