Welcome to the section on React and the React Fundamentals.

In the last guide we walked through how to create a react class component and I mentioned how there are different types of components in react.

This is going to be a pretty short episode. We are going to talk about the constructor inside of a class component.

So, in the last guide, we walked through the basics of the constructor function, and that is very helpful.

In the last guide, we walked through how we could map over a collection of data and how we were able to then build and pass in our component and then render that out on the page.

In the last section, when we walked through each one of the code files in detail and I told you that what you were seeing inside of the render function such as all of the component data, I told you that it looked a lot like HTML.

Great job in how you've been going through this section so far.

In the last guide, we walked through how to create initial state and how to access those state values.

Now that we've walked through how we can set state with an example, you should have the syntax down, but it's definitely worth more practice and in this guide we're going to build out a pretty cool feature.

Nice job in going through the last few guides on state. I know state can be a little bit confusing if you've never seen it before, especially when you start to get into manipulating state and working with click listeners and those kinds of things.

Now that you have an introduction to the syntax and the process for implementing conditionals in React, we're going to take that knowledge and we're going to extend it a little further.
