Functional Component vs Class Component
A functional component is best suited for cases where the component doesn’t need to interact with other components or manage complex states. Functional components are ideal for presenting static UI elements or composing multiple simple components together under a single parent component.
While class-based components can achieve the same result, they are generally less efficient compared to functional components. Therefore, it’s recommended to not use class components for general use.
React Components
Components in React serve as independent and reusable code blocks for UI elements. They represent different parts of a web page and contain both structure and behavior. They are similar to JavaScript functions and make creating and managing complex user interfaces easier by breaking them down into smaller, reusable pieces.
