In this blog post, I will walk you through the process of moving a website from Hugo to Astro, a simpler solution that eliminates the need to work with Hugo templates when making changes. I find Astro to be a great choice for this migration because it allows me to use JSX, a syntax I am more comfortable with, and also gives me the flexibility to incorporate frameworks like Svelte or React in the future....
What is the difference between state and props in React? In a React component, props are variables passed to it by its parent component. State, on the other hand, consists of variables that are directly initialized and managed by the component itself. The state can be initialized using props. For example, a parent component can include a child component by calling: <ChildComponent /> The parent can then pass a prop to the child component using the following syntax:...
A Brief Introduction to React Components A component is an isolated piece of the interface. In a typical blog homepage, you might find components like the Sidebar and the Blog Posts List. These components can also be composed of other components. For example, you could have a list of Blog post components, with each component representing a different blog post and having its own unique properties. React simplifies the process of creating components....
Understanding the concept of composition and its importance in React apps Composition is a fundamental concept in programming that allows you to construct more complex functionality by combining smaller, focused functions. For instance, when using the map() function to create a new array from an initial set and then filtering the result using filter(), composition enables you to perform both actions in a concise and efficient manner: const list = ['Apple', 'Orange', 'Egg'] list....
In the world of JavaScript programming, you might be familiar with Higher Order Functions that accept functions as arguments and/or return functions. React takes this concept and applies it to components, resulting in Higher Order Components (HOCs). HOCs are components that accept a component as input and return a component as output. The beauty of HOCs is their ability to make your code more composable, reusable, and encapsulated. They allow you to add methods or properties to the state of a component, or even integrate with Redux stores....
When working with JavaScript, enforcing the type of a variable at compile time can be challenging because of its dynamic nature. Passing invalid types can lead to runtime errors or unexpected behavior if the types are compatible but not what we expect. However, React offers a solution to this problem through PropTypes. With PropTypes, we can specify the required types for props, and our tools (such as editors and linters) can detect type errors before running the code....
In one of my React (Next.js) applications, I encountered the following error message: Error: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: [object Promise]). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead. After spending some time investigating the issue, I discovered that the error occurred because I had mistakenly exported my page component with the async keyword. This mistake happened because I had copied the component from another Next....

Server Side Rendering (SSR), also known as Server-Side Rendering, refers to the process of rendering a JavaScript application on the server instead of the browser. There are several reasons why we should consider using SSR with React: Faster first page load time: SSR allows your site to load faster, enhancing the user experience. Improved SEO: Search engines struggle to efficiently index applications that rely solely on client-side rendering. SSR helps search engines understand and index your content correctly....
