Understanding Components
There were 2 types of components I worked with while doing this project. One being an extension of the Component class and the other being a stateless functional Component.
The biggest difference in this is how I applied their uses. For functional components, I simply used them to display quick html like a display page. For component classes, I used those on my forms or containers. where i needed to pull information from an async request and store that information in the state of the component as in the photo bellow:
My login container, above, used the state to keep track of my input changes in the form. I also decided to use this so that I can add my dispatch functions to the class’ props field. I usually try to use functional components where I can and limit class component to where i need to access my stores using the redux framework.
