Q

What is the ‘Store’ feature in Redux?

A

Redux has a feature called ‘Store’ which allows you to save the application’s entire State at one place. Therefore all it’s component’s State are stored in the Store so that you will get regular updates directly from the Store. The single state tree helps you to keep track of changes over time and debug or inspect the application.

32
Q

What are children prop?

A

Children props are used to pass component to other components as properties. You can access it by using

{props.children}

35
Q

Explain strict mode

Q

What are reacted portals?

A

Portal allows you to render children into a DOM node. CreatePortalmethod is used for it.

37

At that time a multi-line JSX expression is the only option left for you.

42
Q

What is the reduction?

Q

How can you share an element in the parsing?

A

Using the State, we can share the data.

46
Q

Explain the term reconciliation

A

When a component’s state or props change then rest will compare the rendered element with previously rendered DOM and will update the actual DOM if it is needed. This process is known as reconciliation.

47

63
Q

How to dispatch the data in-store?

A

We can dispatch the data to another component which should be based on the action which stores the parent component.

64

A

In order to create the same component in more action flow, we are using the same functionality in various modules.

65
Q

Most important protoype used in React js are:

number
string
array
object
element
67
Q

What is the purpose of using bindActionsCreators?

A

BindActionCreator helps you to bind the event based on the action dispatcher to the HTML element.

68
Q

A

Ref is a reference to the element. It should be avoided in most cases. However, sometimes it is used when you need to access DOM or instance of the component directly.

69
