src/pages/Navbar.js

src/pages/Sidebar.js

src/pages/Content.js

src/pages/Footer.js

There are lots of things to take care during the creation of react application but for now please make sure about the below things.

  • In react component “class” should be “className”
  • React component must have one parent element
  • The “style” prop expects a mapping from style properties to values, not a string. In other words please pass object in style attributes (see Content.js)

3. Add multiple components in single component

Import all components in App.js file and add it in below format.

src/App.js

That’s it for your basic react application.
