React.js library is all about splitting the app into several components. Each Component has its own lifecycle. React provides us some in-built methods that we can override at particular stages in the life-cycle of the component. In class-based components, the FindDOMNode() method is used to return DOM of the given element.
Creating React Application And Installing Module:
-
Step 1: Create a React application using the following command.
npx create-react-app foldername
-
Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command.
cd foldername
Project Structure: It will look like the following.
Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.
App.js
import React from 'react'; import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'; // Defining our App Component const App = () => { // Function to get element from findDOMNode() function find() { var node = document.getElementById("node"); var a = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(node); console.log(a); a.style.color = 'green'; a.style.fontSize = "x-large"; } // Returning our JSX code return <> <div> <h1>neveropen</h1> <div id='node'>DOM Node</div> <button onClick={find}>Click to find</button> </div> </>; } // Exporting your Default App Component export default App |
Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:
npm start
Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:
