Reactify

Setting Up Your Environment

If you haven’t set up a React project yet, you can use Create React App:

bashCopy codenpx create-react-app reactify
cd reactify

Step 2: Create Basic Components

We’ll create two main components: SongList and AddSong.

1. Create SongList.js

In the src folder, create a new file called SongList.js:

jsxCopy code// src/SongList.js
import React from 'react';

const SongList = ({ songs }) => {
  return (
<ul>
  {songs.map((song, index) => (
    <li key={index}>{song}</li>
  ))}
</ul>
  );
};

export default SongList;

2. Create AddSong.js

Now create another file called AddSong.js:

jsxCopy code// src/AddSong.js
import React, { useState } from 'react';

const AddSong = ({ onAdd }) => {
  const [inputValue, setInputValue] = useState('');

  const handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
if (inputValue) {
  onAdd(inputValue);
  setInputValue('');
}
  };

  return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
  <input
    type="text"
    value={inputValue}
    onChange={(e) => setInputValue(e.target.value)}
    placeholder="Add a new song"
  />
  <button type="submit">Add</button>
</form>
  );
};

export default AddSong;

Step 3: Main Application Component

Now, let’s tie everything together in App.js.

jsxCopy code// src/App.js
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import SongList from './SongList';
import AddSong from './AddSong';

const App = () => {
  const [songs, setSongs] = useState([]);

  const addSong = (song) => {
setSongs([...songs, song]);
  };

  return (
<div>
  <h1>My Playlist</h1>
  <AddSong onAdd={addSong} />
  <SongList songs={songs} />
</div>
  );
};

export default App;

Step 4: Run Your Application

Now you can start your application. In your terminal, run:

bashCopy codenpm start

Step 5: Explore and Enhance

You now have a basic React application that allows you to add songs to a playlist. You can enhance it by adding features like:

• Removing songs
• Persisting the playlist to local storage
• Adding additional song details (artist, album)

Summary

This tutorial walked you through creating a simple React application with a playlist feature. You learned how to manage state and create reusable components in React.
