ReactJS - Components

A Component is the core building block of a React application. In other words, we can verbalize that every application we will develop in React will be composed of pieces called components. Components make the task of building UIs much more facile. We can visually perceive a UI broken down into multiple individual pieces called components and work on them independently and merge them all in a parent component which will be our final UI.

You can visually perceive in the below image we have broken down the UI of a webpage into individual components.



The navigation bar at the top is an individual component, the content is an individual component, the footer is an individual component, and conclusively, we can merge all of these individual components to make a parent component which will be the final UI for the webpage.

In ReactJS, we have mainly two types of components. They are
  • Functional Components
  • Class Components

Functional Components

In React, function components are a way to indite components that only contain a render method and don't have their own state. They are simply JavaScript functions that may or may not receive data as parameters. We can engender a function that takes props(properties) as input and returns what should be rendered. A valid functional component can be shown in the below example.

Example
import React, { Component } from 'react';
class App extends React.Component {
   render() {
      return (
         <div>
            <Header />
            <Content />
            <Footer />

         </div>
      );
   }
}
class Header extends React.Component {
   render() {
      return (
         <div>
            <div>
               <div>
                  <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                     <div class="container-fluid">
                        <div class="navbar-header">
                           <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">WebSiteName</a>
                        </div>
                        <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                           <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
                           <li><a href="#">Page 1</a></li>
                           <li><a href="#">Page 2</a></li>
                           <li><a href="#">Page 3</a></li>
                        </ul>
                     </div>
                  </nav>
               </div>
            </div>
         </div>
      );
   }
}
class Content extends React.Component {
   render() {
      return (
         <div>
            <div class="container">
               <h3>Content from knowledgefactory!!</h3>
               <p>This is the content </p>
            </div>
         </div>
      );
   }
}
class Footer extends React.Component {
   render() {
      return (
         <div>
            <footer>
               <p>Author: knowledgefactory</p>
               <p><a href="mailto:sibinmuhammed@gmail.com">sibinmuhammed@gmail.com
                          </a></p>
            </footer>
         </div>
      );
   }
}
export default App;  
Output:

Class Components

Class components require us to extend from React. Component and engender a render function that returns a React element. We can pass data from one class to other class components. We can engender a class by defining a class that extends the Component and has a render function. The valid class component is shown in the below example.

Example
import React from 'react';
class App extends React.Component {
   constructor() {
      super();
      this.state = {
         data:
            [
               {
                  "langauge": "java"
               },
               {
                  "langauge": "python"
               },
               {
                  "langauge": "c++"
               },
               {
                  "langauge": "c"
               },
               {
                  "langauge": "Go"
               }
            ]
      }
   }
   render() {
      return (
         <div>
            <ProgrammingLanguages />
            <ul>
               {this.state.data.map((item) => <List data={item} />)}
            </ul>
         </div>
      );
   }
}
class ProgrammingLanguages extends React.Component {
   render() {
      return (
         <div>
            <h1>Programming Languages </h1>
         </div>
      );
   }
}
class List extends React.Component {
   render() {
      return (
         <ul>
            <li>{this.props.data.langauge}</li>
         </ul>
      );
   }
}

Learn Java 8 streams with an example - print odd/even numbers from Array and List

Example 1: Java 8 program to print odd numbers from a List   import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; /*Java 8 Program to find Odd Numbers from a List*/ public class DriverClass { public static void main( String [] args) { List < Integer > numbers = Arrays. asList( 1 , 4 , 8 , 40 , 11 , 22 , 33 , 99 ); List < Integer > oddNumbers = numbers.stream(). filter(o -> o % 2 != 0 ). collect(Collectors.toList()); System.out.println(oddNumbers); } } 1. Initialize List using Arrays.asList() method. Java's built-in Arrays.asList() method converts an array into a list. This method takes an array as an argument and returns a List object. 2.  Java List interface provides stream() method which returns a sequential Stream with list of Integer as its source. 3. The Java stream filter() method allow

Java Stream API - How to convert List of objects to another List of objects using Java streams?

In this section, we will show you how to convert a List of objects to another List of objects in Java using the Java streams map(). The ‘map’ method maps each element to its corresponding result. Java Stream API   The Java Stream API provides a functional programming approach over the object oriented capabilities of Java. It is used for processing collections of objects. The Stream in Java can be defined as a sequence of elements from a source List, Set or Array. Most of the stream operations return a Stream. This avails engender a chain of stream operations(stream pipe-lining). The streams withal support the aggregate or terminal operations on the elements. for example, finding the sum or maximum element or finding the average etc...Stream operations can either be executed sequentially or parallel. when performed parallelly, it is called a parallel stream.   Stream map() Method   The Java 8 Stream map() is an intermediate operation. It converts Stream<obj1> to Stream<obj2>

Top 5 Java ORM tools - 2024

Image
  The term ORM refers to object-relational mapping, which uses objects to adapt programming languages to database systems while allowing them to function with SQL and object-oriented programming ideas. Any kind of database management system that can accomplish object mapping to the table in the virtual system is suitable for the implementation of ORM. Java has a wide variety of ORM tools, some of which are mentioned below: 1. Hibernate Hibernate is a lightweight, open-source, non-invasive Java ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework that allows developers to create objects that function independently of database software and create persistence logic in any Java or JavaEE application. It offers an abstraction layer, so developers don't have to bother about implementations; Hibernate handles these tasks internally, such as connecting to databases and creating queries to carry out CRUD operations, among other things. Persistence logic development is done with it. Persistence logic r

Java - Blowfish Encryption and decryption Example

Image
Blowfish is an encryption method developed by Bruce Schneier in 1993 as an alternative to the DES encryption method. It is significantly faster than DES and provides good encryption speed, although no effective cryptanalysis technique has been found to date. It is one of the first secure block ciphers that is not protected by any patents and is therefore freely available for anyone to use. This is a symmetric block cipher algorithm. Block size: 64 bits Key size: variable size from 32 to 448 bits number of subsections: 18 [P-array] number of rounds: 16 number of substitution blocks: 4 [each with 512 records of 32 bits each] develop  Example 1: Encryption and decryption using Blowfish import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException; import java.nio.charset.Charset; import java.security.InvalidKeyException; import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException; import java.util.Base64; import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeExc
