How to Build a Complete React.js App in 60 Minutes or Less

Introduction: What is a React.js App? What's the most important thing to understand? Why would I want you to build one? Then we talk about React and learn how it's awesome!


React.js is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces and is widely used by developers to create fast and efficient web applications. In this guide, we will show you how to build a complete React.js app in 60 minutes or less.

Step 1: Set up your development environment

Before you begin building your app, you will need to set up your development environment. This includes installing Node.js, which is the JavaScript runtime that React.js requires, as well as a code editor such as Visual Studio Code or Atom.

Step 2: Create a new React.js app

To create a new React.js app, you will need to use the "create-react-app" command in your terminal. This command will create a new directory with all the necessary files and dependencies needed to start building your app.

Step 3: Create the basic structure of your app

The next step is to create the basic structure of your app. This includes creating a "src" directory where you will store all your code, as well as a "public" directory where you will store any static files such as images and fonts.

Step 4: Add components

Components are the building blocks of React.js apps and are used to create reusable code. You can create your own components or use pre-built ones from libraries such as Material-UI.

Step 5: Add functionality

Now that your app has a basic structure and some components, it's time to add functionality. This can include things like form validation, data fetching, and state management.

Step 6: Test and deploy

Finally, test your app to make sure it works as expected and fix any bugs that you find. Once you are satisfied with your app, you can deploy it to a web server or hosting service such as Heroku or Firebase.

In conclusion, building a complete React.js app in 60 minutes or less is possible with the right tools and knowledge. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can set up your development environment, create a new app, add components, add functionality, and deploy your app. Remember to test your app before deploying it and fix any bugs you find.


If you have a large JavaScript project, you know that the process of building it is difficult and time-consuming. It can take weeks to build everything in your app -- if not months.Don't wait -- get started on building a React.js application today!Enjoy 60 minutes of coding fun with this book and learn how to use the tools of the React ecosystem (React, Reason, Redux, etc.) to build an application in just a few minutes.
