What is a component in React JS?

Question

Can anyone please explain the component with an example in React JS?

Answer 1

A component in React JS is just like the functions we use in JavaScript but return HTML by using render function

Components are of two types such as Class components and Function components

Example of Class Component in React JS: 

class Potato extends React.Component {

 render() {

    return <h2>Hi, I am a Potato!</h2>;

 }

}

Example of function component in React JS:

function Potato() {  

return <h2>Hi, I am also a Potato!</h2>;

}
