React Design Patterns and Best Practices - Second Edition

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at the different things we can do when we target the browser with React, from form creation to events, and from animations to SVGs.

React gives us a declarative way to manage all the aspects we need to deal with when we create a web application.

In case we need it, React gives us access to the actual DOM nodes in a way that we can perform imperative operations with them, which is useful if we need to integrate React with an existing imperative library.

The next chapter will be about CSS and inline styles, and it will clarify what it means to write CSS in JavaScript.
