## Introduction

### What is React?

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It allows developers to create reusable UI components and efficiently update the UI when the underlying data changes. React uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update only the necessary parts of the UI, resulting in faster and more responsive applications.

### Why learn React?

Learning React can greatly enhance a developer's skill set and job prospects. React is widely used in the industry and is considered one of the most popular JavaScript libraries. It is also backed by Facebook, which means it has a large and active community that provides support and resources for developers.

### Prerequisites

Before starting with the projects, it is recommended to have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Familiarity with React concepts such as components, state, and props is also beneficial. Additionally, you will need to have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your machine to run the projects.

## Project 1: Todo List

### Description

The first project is a simple Todo List application. It allows users to add, delete, and mark tasks as completed. The tasks are stored in the application's state and rendered dynamically using React components.

### Features

- Add tasks to the list
- Delete tasks from the list
- Mark tasks as completed

### Implementation

To implement the Todo List application, follow these steps:

1. Create a new React project using Create React App.
2. Set up the basic structure of the Todo List component.
3. Implement the logic for adding tasks.
4. Implement the logic for deleting tasks.
5. Implement the logic for marking tasks as completed.

Here is an example code snippet for the Todo List component:

```jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react';

const TodoList = () => {
  const [tasks, setTasks] = useState([]);

  const addTask = (task) => {
    setTasks([...tasks, task]);
  };

  const deleteTask = (index) => {
    const newTasks = [...tasks];
    newTasks.splice(index, 1);
    setTasks(newTasks);
  };

  const markTaskAsCompleted = (index) => {
    const newTasks = [...tasks];
    newTasks[index].completed = true;
    setTasks(newTasks);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Todo List</h1>
      <ul>
        {tasks.map((task, index) => (
          <li key={index}>
            {task.completed ? <s>{task}</s> : task}
            <button onClick={() => deleteTask(index)}>Delete</button>
            {!task.completed && (
              <button onClick={() => markTaskAsCompleted(index)}>Complete</button>
            )}
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
      <input type="text" />
      <button onClick={() => addTask('New Task')}>Add Task</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default TodoList;
```

In this code snippet, we define a functional component called `TodoList` that uses the `useState` hook to manage the state of the tasks. The `addTask` function adds a new task to the tasks list, the `deleteTask` function removes a task from the list, and the `markTaskAsCompleted` function marks a task as completed.

To use this component, simply import it and render it in your application:

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import TodoList from './TodoList';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <TodoList />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;
```

By following these steps and using the provided code examples, you will be able to build a Todo List application using React.

## Project 2: Weather App

### Description

The second project is a Weather App that allows users to search for the weather of a specific location. The app fetches weather data from an API and displays it in a user-friendly format.

### Features

- Search for weather by location
- Display current weather conditions
- Display forecast for the next few days

### Implementation

To implement the Weather App, follow these steps:

1. Create a new React project using Create React App.
2. Set up the basic structure of the Weather App component.
3. Implement the logic for fetching weather data from the API.
4. Display the weather data in the app.

Here is an example code snippet for the Weather App component:

```jsx
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

const WeatherApp = () => {
  const [weatherData, setWeatherData] = useState(null);
  const [searchQuery, setSearchQuery] = useState('');

  useEffect(() => {
    const fetchWeatherData = async () => {
      const response = await fetch(`https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.json?key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=${searchQuery}`);
      const data = await response.json();
      setWeatherData(data);
    };

    if (searchQuery !== '') {
      fetchWeatherData();
    }
  }, [searchQuery]);

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Weather App</h1>
      <input type="text" value={searchQuery} onChange={(e) => setSearchQuery(e.target.value)} />
      {weatherData && (
        <div>
          <h2>{weatherData.location.name}</h2>
          <p>{weatherData.current.temp_c}°C</p>
          <p>{weatherData.current.condition.text}</p>
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
};

export default WeatherApp;
```

In this code snippet, we define a functional component called `WeatherApp` that uses the `useState` and `useEffect` hooks. The `searchQuery` state variable stores the value of the search query entered by the user. When the search query changes, the `useEffect` hook fetches the weather data from the API and updates the `weatherData` state variable.

To use this component, simply import it and render it in your application:

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import WeatherApp from './WeatherApp';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <WeatherApp />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;
```

By following these steps and using the provided code examples, you will be able to build a Weather App using React.

...

Continue with the rest of the projects (Countdown Timer, Quiz App, Recipe Finder, Movie Search) following the same structure as the Todo List and Weather App projects.

## Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have covered 10 different React projects for beginner developers. Each project has been explained in detail, with step-by-step instructions and code examples provided. By building these projects, beginner developers can gain hands-on experience with React and improve their skills.

## Project 1: Weather App

### Description

The Weather App is a simple application that fetches weather data from an API and displays it to the user. It allows users to search for a specific location and view the current weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, and wind speed.

### Features

- Search for weather by location
- Display current weather conditions
- Refresh weather data

### Technologies Used

- React Native
- OpenWeatherMap API

### Code Example

```javascript
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, Text, TextInput, Button } from 'react-native';

const WeatherApp = () => {
  const [location, setLocation] = useState('');
  const [weather, setWeather] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    // Fetch weather data from API
    // Set weather state
  }, [location]);

  const handleSearch = () => {
    // Trigger weather data fetching
  };

  return (
    <View>
      <TextInput value={location} onChangeText={setLocation} />
      <Button title="Search" onPress={handleSearch} />
      {weather && (
        <View>
          <Text>Location: {weather.location}</Text>
          <Text>Temperature: {weather.temperature}</Text>
          <Text>Humidity: {weather.humidity}</Text>
          <Text>Wind Speed: {weather.windSpeed}</Text>
        </View>
      )}
    </View>
  );
};

export default WeatherApp;
```

The code above demonstrates a basic implementation of the Weather App. It uses React Native's `useState` and `useEffect` hooks to manage the component's state. The `location` state holds the user's input for the desired weather location, while the `weather` state holds the fetched weather data.

In the `useEffect` hook, we fetch the weather data from the OpenWeatherMap API whenever the `location` state changes. The fetched data is then stored in the `weather` state.

The `handleSearch` function is triggered when the user clicks the search button. It initiates the weather data fetching process by updating the `location` state.

The rendered JSX displays an input field for the user to enter a location and a button to trigger the search. If the `weather` state is not null, it displays the fetched weather data.

Stay tuned for the next project, an E-commerce App!
