Introduction

What Is Inside

In the first part, I'll show you how to test a React app. The app itself is super basic, and has a single feature. React is atomic. You can use this mini-app or its components in a larger app. For example a WordPress block. That's part two, I'll show how to use re-usable React components in a WordPress block.

Assumptions About You

It's important as you consume this material to know what assumptions I'm making about you.

• You know React basics. If not, I recommend:
  • The React Getting Started Guide.
  • This section of The University of Helsinki's Free Intro Course on Modern JavaScript-based Web Development.
• How to create a "Gutenberg" block in WordPress.
  • If you're new to block development, I recommend following along with the block tutorial in the handbook and building some blocks.
  • Also, take at my slides and example code for my intro to block development workshop.
• You can read the docs.
  • I am going to be covering a lot of tools and moving quickly. I'll show how to get started with them and expalin WHY you would use them. I trust that you can discover the little details and next steps from reading the docs and considering what your code needs.
