This repo was created to show the basics of React functional components.

Checkout the jsFunctions.js file to see a couple of typical js functions and their syntax. Then checkout the FirstComponent.js file at chris_app/src/FirstComponent.js.

The thing to notice is that in the return statement of the functional component there are some parenthesis. Inside of those parenthesis you can write html, { javascript inside curly braces like these } or even use other React Components which would look like this: <ComponentName />

Now checkout the SecondComponent.js file. Here we see the idea of props passed to a component. Think of a component's props as very similar to the arguments that you would pass to a normal function. Like 4 and 5 when we just added values in those .js functions. A component's props allow you to pass values into your functional components so you can reuse the component but give it a different props argument on each instantiation of the component.
