Things I learned:

• adding javascript functions
• calling those function from the render method
• a better understanding of flexbox after testing its different functions
• manipulating html with javascript
• calling functions after components get rendered using componentDidMount()

Does this article help with including custom js from onboarding slider, right?

Btw, what is exactly componentDidMount ?

[smob123]

• yes, it helps with including custom js if it is in the same file.

• componentDidMount is a react method that checks if components in render were mounted on the browser, that is by looking through each of them from the last to the first element.

I used it in this tutorial; because, using getElementById would always return null if it was called from render.

understand. will that method will help with initialization of jquery plugins? like comboxes plugins?

Btw, you can proceed with next chapter. it's really interesting

[smob123]

possibly yes, due to the way the method works
