Babel-React App Template

Welcome to the Babel-React App Template repository! This repository provides a foundational setup for developing a React application with Babel, offering two distinct branches for your development preferences: a function-based approach and a class-based approach.

Features:

• Function-Based Branch: Utilizes React's functional components and hooks.
• Class-Based Branch: Uses React's class components and lifecycle methods.
• Babel setup for modern JavaScript transpilation.
• Essential dependencies to kickstart your React application.

Getting Started:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/bumbitzu/babel-react-template.git

2. Switch to the desired branch:

   • For function-based setup:

     git checkout function-based

   • For class-based setup:

     git checkout class-based

3. Install Dependencies:

   npm install

4. Run the Application:

   npm start

Why Two Branches?

The React community is split between two predominant ways of writing components: functional and class-based. While functional components with hooks have become more popular due to their simplicity and power, class-based components are still widely used, especially in legacy projects. This template offers both setups so developers can choose based on their comfort level or project requirements.
