React Notes App

by Abdul Rawoof A R Updated: Jan 24, 2023

In this kit, we're going to see how to create an simple react notes app with simple steps. we’ll create a new file called Notes.js within the NoteComponents folder. Note.js will contain all the states and functions, and it will link together all the components. Inside Notes.js, we will first import the Note component. You can fill an array with information that you need to pass in the Note component, then loop over the array and render Note with the props in the state. We'll just passing a dummy string but you can expand the logic depending on your needs. If you don't need any props passed to the Note component you can just have a counter and increment it on each click, and simply render Note as many times as you need. To implement this task, use the ready-made code snippet below by just copying the code and paste it in your IDE with react library. Explore more top trending libraries and code snippets on kandi.

Code

In this solution we're using React library.

I'm working on a notes app. How do I get a new Note component to be added on each button click?

class App extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      notes: []
    };
  }

  handleClick = () => {
    const currentNotes = this.state.notes;

    // you can have an array here that you keep the props
    // to pass into Note component
    currentNotes.push({ noteProp1: "something" });
    this.setState({
      notes: currentNotes
    });
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">
        <h2>ReactJS Notes App</h2>
        <button className="fas fa-plus-circle" onClick={this.handleClick}>
          <i>Button</i>
        </button>
        {this.state.notes.map((noteProps, key) => (
          <Note key={key} info={noteProps} />
        ))}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
cd foldername.
Open the folder in IDE.
Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in index.js file(you have to add two more lines at the end of your code, for that use demo as reference) and refer demo for one additional file called Note.js.
Import React, Component, ReactDOM then also that additional Note.js file into index.js file.
Open the terminal from IDE.
npm start to run the file.

You can also refer this url 'DEMO' for getting the above output.

I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.

I found this code snippet by searching for 'get new note component to be added on each button click' in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
The solution is tested on node v18.12.1 and npm v8.19.2.
React version-18.2.0.

Using this solution, we are able to create an react notes app with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to create an react notes app.
