React Reference Overview - React

The React Reference Overview provides detailed documentation for using React, including sections on React features, React DOM, and rules for best practices. It covers programmatic features like Hooks, Components, and APIs, as well as client and server APIs specific to web applications. Additionally, it outlines the importance of purity in components and hooks, and mentions legacy APIs that are not recommended for new code.

API REFERENCE

React Reference Overview


This section provides detailed reference documentation for
working with React. For an introduction to React, please visit the
Learn section.

The React reference documentation is broken down into functional


subsections:

React
Programmatic React features:

Hooks - Use different React features from your components.


Components - Built-in components that you can use in your JSX.
APIs - APIs that are useful for defining components.
Directives - Provide instructions to bundlers compatible with React
Server Components.

React DOM
React-dom contains features that are only supported for web applications
(which run in the browser DOM environment). This section is broken into the
following:

Hooks - Hooks for web applications which run in the browser DOM
environment.
Components - React supports all of the browser built-in HTML and SVG
components.
APIs - The react-dom package contains methods supported only in web
applications.

Client APIs - The react-dom/client APIs let you render React


components on the client (in the browser).
Server APIs - The react-dom/server APIs let you render React
components to HTML on the server.

Rules of React
React has idioms — or rules — for how to express patterns in a way that is
easy to understand and yields high-quality applications:

Components and Hooks must be pure – Purity makes your code easier to
understand, debug, and allows React to automatically optimize your
components and hooks correctly.
React calls Components and Hooks – React is responsible for rendering
components and hooks when necessary to optimize the user experience.
Rules of Hooks – Hooks are defined using JavaScript functions, but they
represent a special type of reusable UI logic with restrictions on where
they can be called.

Legacy APIs
Legacy APIs - Exported from the react package, but not recommended
for use in newly written code.
