Installation
React has been designed from the start for gradual adoption. You
can use as little or as much React as you need. Whether you want
to get a taste of React, add some interactivity to an HTML page, or
start a complex React-powered app, this section will help you get
started.
Try React
You don’t need to install anything to play with React. Try editing this
sandbox!
App.js Download
1 function Greeting({ name }) {
2 return <h1>Hello, {name}</h1>;
3 }
4
5 export default function App() {
6 return <Greeting name="world" />
7 }
8
Hello, world
You can edit it directly or open it in a new tab by pressing the “Fork” button in
the upper right corner.
Most pages in the React documentation contain sandboxes like this. Outside
of the React documentation, there are many online sandboxes that support
React: for example, CodeSandbox, StackBlitz, or CodePen.
To try React locally on your computer, download this HTML page. Open it in
your editor and in your browser!
Creating a React App
If you want to start a new React app, you can create a React app using a
recommended framework.
Build a React App from Scratch
If a framework is not a good fit for your project, you prefer to build your own
framework, or you just want to learn the basics of a React app you can build a
React app from scratch.
Add React to an existing project
If want to try using React in your existing app or a website, you can add React
to an existing project.
Note
Should I use Create React App?
No. Create React App has been deprecated. For more information,
see Sunsetting Create React App.
