1. 1. Introduction to React Component Architecture: Learners will understand the basics of React components and the importance of custom components. They will gain foundational skills in creating and rendering components in a React application.
2. 2. Customizing Form Inputs: This module will teach learners how to create custom form input components, including text fields, dropdowns, and checkboxes. Learners will understand the role of props and state in form input components.
3. 3. Handling User Input: Learners will explore methods for handling user input and state management in React. They will learn to use state hooks like useState to manage input values and implement validation logic.
4. 4. Styling Custom Text Input Components: In this module, learners will learn techniques for styling custom text input components using CSS and React-specific styling libraries like styled-components or emotion. They will gain proficiency in creating visually appealing and responsive input components.
5. 5. Advanced State Management with Context API: This module will cover the use of React’s Context API for managing state across multiple components. Learners will create more complex input components that can share state and functionality.
6. 6. Implementing Controlled and Uncontrolled Components: Learners will study the differences between controlled and uncontrolled components in React. They will implement both types of components and understand when to use each approach for handling form inputs.
7. 7. Building Custom Textarea Component: In this module, learners will design and implement a custom textarea component. They will learn to handle multiline text input and implement features like autosizing and character counters.
8. 8. Accessibility Considerations for Text Input Components: This module will focus on making custom text input components accessible to users with disabilities. Learners will learn best practices for keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and ARIA attributes.
9. 9. Implementing Autocomplete and Suggestions: Learners will create custom text input components with autocomplete and suggestions features. They will use state and event handling to implement these interactive components.
10. 10. Testing Custom Text Input Components: In the final module, learners will learn how to write unit tests and integration tests for custom text input components using Jest and React Testing Library. They will understand the importance of testing for robust and reliable components.
