Most of the components that you write will be stateless, meaning that they take in props and return what you want to be displayed. In React 0.14, a simpler syntax for writing these kinds of components was introduced, and we began calling these components "stateless functional components". In this lesson, let's take a look at how to define a stateless function component, and how to integrate useful React features like Prop Type validation while using this new component syntax.
Compnents with State:
class Title extends React.Component { render(){ return ({ this.props.value}
) }}class App extends React.Component { render(){ return () }}ReactDOM.render( , document.querySelector("#root"))
Conver Title component to stateless component:
const Title = (props) => ({props.value}
)class App extends React.Component { render(){ return () }}ReactDOM.render( , document.querySelector("#root"))
So now you cannot access lifecycle hooks, anyway a dump compoennt doesn't need to handle those lifecycle hooks.
But if you want to set defaultProps and propTypes, it is still possible:
/*class Title extends React.Component { render(){ return ({this.props.value}
) }}*/const Title = (props) => ({props.value}
)Title.propTypes = { value: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired}Title.defaultProps = { value: "Egghead.io is Awson!!"}class App extends React.Component { render(){ return () }}ReactDOM.render( , document.querySelector("#root"))
Statless compoennt rendering much fast than extends one.
